Wittmund (ETNT) 2016 MIL

Post by Hornet69 »

It seems this year, as of the 4th of July, Wittmund will be back as a wing. So JG71 is back :) .

Newsitem in the Harlingen newspaper: Take a look here (link)

The article states the amount of Eurofighters wil be increased from 10 to 20. Does someone now if these 10 extra Eurofighters are new ones (so fresh from the factory)? Or other units will loose Eurofighters (so a shuffling between units)?

Hello,

I am planning a visit to Wittmund on our Dutch Kingsday. Can someone tell me how many A-4's are based here? And how are the flying activities here on a normal day (based EF2000 ass well as visitors)?

Best regards,

Coen

Hoi Coen,

Ik ben er op een vrijdag geweest in november en op vrijdagmiddag vliegen ze niet. Jij gaat op een woensdag en heb je misschien meer geluk.

Sochtends om 08:00 vertrok de eerste Skyhawk Daarna 4 keer een Eurofighter en als laatste weer ee Skyhawk. Verder deed een Transall c160 meerdere keren een touchdown en vloog er een lesvliegtuig constant over het vliegveld. Dit was pas nadat er geen andere vliegbewegingen meer waren.

Groet Bram

Oké Bram, bedankt voor de info. We zullen zien. Dan is de vrijdag misschien altijd wel een iets mindere dag war dat betreft (?)

TLwG 31 at Nörvenich has more than 35 Eurofighters in it´s books, so it should be no problem to give Wittmund 20 or so a/c for a new TLwG 71!

Not correct: C-FGZT/542 has yet to be delivered to Wittmund. It was damaged during a landing incident at Phoenix Gateway on Sep 17, 2015, following a test flight. So there are currently 6 A-4Ns bases at Wittmund (2 flying from Gando right now).

Is next friday a normal flying day?

I know they don't fly in the afternoon, but will there be a morning-flight?

Next friday is no, so called, "bridge-day" (in between a holiday and the weekend), so I would say that next friday should be like any friday.

Yes, those pics have been around on the web since September 2015...
Still no trace of this bird since its mishap, unfortunately.
