I heard that this years 2017 Frisian Flag will be the last one held. It seems (what people told me) it has to do with the transition to the F-35 "Lightning II" in the upcoming years.

Another great exercise nearby gone (after TLP at Florennes).

As it seems that the upcoming week equipment is brought to Leeuwarden does this mean that 12 "JZ" F-15's wil arrive somewere after the 20st of March? Frisian Flag starts on the 27th of March. And will some F-15's stay at Iceland? Just like last year? Or will Leeuwarden see all 12 of them? ...

According to website op 1st squadron; 1st squadron "stingers" " Tactical Weapon Meet 2017 Dear visitors, We have news for you; get your agendas! We are preparing the largest fighter jets exercise held in Florennes since the last TLP on our airbase in 2009! The TWM 2017 will take place...

Keep an eye out for more information on the 1st Squadron Stingers page! I assume you mean their facebook page? Great to read about the spotterday. 1st SQN "Stingers" also celebrate their centennial this year! Maybe some extra visitors? But don't start wishful thinking. Still 6 months to go.

Vanochtend op Gilze geweest. Geen scanner.

Er stonden vijf Apaches buiten waarvan ik er vier heb kunnen fotograferen.

Vertrokken om 09.35 uur; Q30 en Q21
Vertrokken om 10.10 uur; Q05 en Q24

Geen Q13 maar er stond er nog een Apache buiten toen ik vertrok tegen 10.30 uur

Me too went yesterday. Why people keep complaining I truly do not know. Yes I had long waits (was announced about the security checks, you could expect this), had a long walk (blue parking), weather was not great, runway far away and what ever else people can think off to complain about. Many events...

Don't choose I would say. Just enjoy and indeed WOW

If these aircraft the only ones which will be cancelled, it will be certainly one of the better NTM's. Also photowise it looks promising as you will be placed between runway and taxitrack.

Two weeks of action. And now 50 weeks of rest.

I do not think the german eurofighters flew. I think they read the flightlines from outside the base.

Also know the ETA of the german tanker?

Altijd spijtig om te lezen dat mooie fotospots niet meer toegankelijk zijn (kop 09 en 27). Een gemiste kans voor ons spotters. Het organiseren van een P aan de kant van Marssum is mooi. Dit voorkomt de parkeersituatie zoals in 2015. Begrijp ik het nu goed dat het eenrichtingsverkeer is? En dat de we...
