exercise march 1993
Does anyone know if there was an exercise going on at Leeuwarden in March 1993? I saw lots of Volkel and Twenthe F-16s on the 25th of that month and I'm curious if these were just regular visitors or if they were there because of an exercise.

Were the Twenthe and Volkel F-16s based at Leeuwarden during the DWIC?

I guess so. They flew local missions so took off and recovered into EHLW. Don't know for how long these periods were or if there were any changes in between. I only visited one day, so the presence of the Ruskies might have attracted some folk from other bases.
