I don't see a big change to get the Spang vipers at EHLW. If they participate, they will do it from Spangdahlem itself.BirdieBarty wrote:Do you guys think there will be any F16´s from Spangdahlem at Leeuwarden?
As this is my first year to the Frysian Flag. I read it will be pretty crowdy. So what are good spots where you can see take/off and where it's not too crowdy?
In that case, the French could just as well stay at home but they don't. Using a single airbase for exercises like this is of great value, because it enables all crews to be together during mission planning, debriefing, etc.Sipke wrote:I don't see a big change to get the Spang vipers at EHLW.

Last year there was aslo a group of 12 ANG eagles (FLorida and Oregon ANG) and the SP Vipers didn't flew from Leeuwarden. And Spangdahlem is a close airbase to the exercise, the French airbases aren't that close. So there isn't a big change to see them here.SquAdmin wrote:In that case, the French could just as well stay at home but they don't.

Anyway, if it turns out that those ANG F-15's are gonna take part in FF16, there's little chance that Spang F-16's will be there as well.
That isn't an official confirmation. I know the webmaster of that site, and he knows the same as us, maybe ANG Eagles, Maybe RAAF hornets etc. For the eagles is a big change, becasue they are in Europe at the time and FrisianFlag is one of big exercises in the world. We all just have to wait for an official message from the RNLAFj.m. wrote:The Eagles are on the List but need to be confirmed. Confirmed are only RNlAF F-16 and FAF Mirage.
