Frisian Flag 2023

[Maiden]

Hello,

can everybody tell me if Frisian Flag take place in 2023?

Thanks for info.

[pollypeter]

Yes, as far as I know the exercise will be held next year. But in autumn instead of spring this time, because of runway renovation at Leeuwarden Airbase. Somewhere in October 2023 I guess?

Als iemand al een datum weet dan hoor ik het graag. Ivm planning

Reken maar op de eerste 2 weken van oktober, dan zit je aardig in de buurt

[Jovel]

Dankjewel Roberto

Dates known now, see : https://www.scramble.nl/planning/sis-summary
Also mentioned as Frisian Flag/ Taskforce 2023, not sure what that indicates.

Same two weeks as Tiger Meet!

(And first week I'm in France for the Rugby World Cup. Needs some tight planning )

The dates no longer appear on the SIS list. Any news about the dates?

[AK01]

Sorry, must have removed them by mistake, still the same. Will add them again once at home later this week.

Airbase Leeuwarden now also mentions in their newsletter that Frisian Flag will be in week 40-41

3,5 months to go. Are there already participants known for FF23?

Probably 312 SQN won’t participate this year. At least not from Leeuwarden AFB, this caused by already another planned excercise.

Still very quiet for this years Frisian Flag... just 70 days left....

Any idea if the Germans, belgians or French are participating just like almost every year?

Rumours are: Italian, Norwegian and USAF F-35s. Also Finnish F-18s.

Today I received intel that - apparently - the following could be expected to participate;

RNLAF F-35 12 + spare
RNLAF F-16 4 + spare
BAF F-16 8
GAF EF2000 8
RDAF F-16 4
FINAF F-18 3
ITAF F-35 5
US F-35 4
UK Navy F-35B 4 (week 2)

Whereas ITAF appears to be a little unclear as they have a deployment to Laage as well during that same period......
