Skrydstrup (EKSP) 2025

[Herby]

Obviously the next F-35A delivery to here is on schedule as CL.604 C-080 of Esk 721 departed Aalborg as DAF1484 in a northwestern direction on 3.1.

Herby,

Do you know when the next delivery is scheduled and for how many?

Also I was wondering if you have a breakdown of the F16s and deliveries to Ukraine (I believe we have 6 and 4 gone so far),

Many thanks in advance

The next delivery should be somewhere after 6.1., but no date confirmed.

I only have my lists of active Danish F-16 and deliveries with my suggestions, again no confirmations beside the serials of aircrafts of the second delivery on 2.12.

On 4.1. Cl.604 C-172 of Esk 721 departed Aalborg as DAF1521 and it flew via Skrydstrup so this could be the formation lead for the next F-35 delivery.

[Herby]

Challenger C-172 will reach Luke AFB shortly on 5.1. evening (just after noon US time).

[Herby]

The three planned F-35A will most likely be L-002, L-003 and L-004, leaving L-012 to L-016 at Luke AFB.

L-015 is also at Luke AFB, arrived this morning.

Kind Regards.

As I wrote, L-012 TO L-016.

The formation departed Lajes on 12.1. at ca. 12.00h local on runway 33 and turned in northwestern direction and will reach Skrydstrup on or around 18.00h local. The flight consisted of Esk 721 Cl.604 C-172 and the three F-35A which will arrive here and A.330-243MRTT 048/F-UJCN of ERVTS 02.031 which will land at Billund.

Obviously Denmark is preparing Greenland for Mr. Trumps megalomania (report in German, please use translator).

Although Denmark celebrates the 45th anniversary of the F-16 in Flyvevabnet today on 18.1. there is no special event planned for this.
The F-35A should take over all operational commitments until late-2025, like AVB, exercise participation and deployments for NATO etc. With only 18 F-16 still in Denmark after nine more will leave for Ukraine and the first six for Argentina until December 2025 most of the remaining 18 will be in some kind of preparation process like repainting in Have Glass V, heavy maintenance etc.
Everyone who has the chance to see a flying Danish F-16AM and BM after this date should be more than lucky. Especially the aircrafts still in old camo should easy became rare sights.

What this could mean for the Display F-16 E-006 remains to be seen.
