I'm interested in visiting Albacete for the first TLP 2020 course next February, but I have a few questions. Is week 1 of 3, a non-flying week? Are there night-flying missions or academic days in week 2?
TLP 20-1 start on 10th February and finish on 28th February. First week 10-14 February academics days, non flying missions. Flying weeks from 17-21 and 24-27 february, 28th departure day. No night missions.
I don´t know participants yet.

It's worth adding that the TLP aircraft usually only fly in the afternoons. When I've visited over the last few years they've departed around 1430-1530 and returned about 1.5 hours later.
The based EFs do some flying in the mornings and the Airbus helicopter factory often has some activity
Plus an Instagram photo shows an F-16 nose not looking Greek. It has the FLIR (or whatever the sensor under the air intake is) and colour scheme of possibly a Polish Viper?
A very rough log with lots of gaps but it's a start.

Hope this is of use back again tomorrow for another go.
Depends on what runway they are on and if you are doing photos??
The civil/Airbus helicopter end you can see most of tlp ramp but not all as they go around the corner.
Monday tlp launch was 15.40 local and returned by about 17.00
