As far as I know this is only for two years, during the transition to F-35. So if my info is correct, the next Frisian Flag will be held in 2020. Best regards Rob I do hope you are well informed. Then, 2020, it will be a Frisian Flag with dutch F-35's. But only time will tell if your info was right.
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? ...

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...
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.
