F-35's returning from Norway

Post by milflyer »

Good afternoon folk. I'm planning a trip into the Netherlands and Germany (for AD23) and I'm hearing rumours of F-35's returning to Volkel Friday 9th ... can anyone confirm/deny this rumour circulating in England.

Many thanks

On friday evening both 12x F-35 and 8x F-16 are expected (info from Spotting group Volkel), i presume the saturday opening hours are in case weather or mecanical issues delays some of the aircraft to arrive on friday or for ground personel/equipment returning
Volkel needs a lot of these planes on 12/6 by the start of Air Defender 23

If work permits, I will go to Volkel for the returning F-35s. Any educated guesses as to how and when they will come back, e.g. will it be six pairs arriving spread out between 15 and 20 h, or two six ships between 18 and 20 h, or...? This because I probably can't make it to Volkel early afternoon. But the 'Friday evening' mentioned by Roberto in the last post suggests it might still be wort hurrying to Volkel when work is done, so here's hoping!

Op de SGV Facebook pagina het volgende bericht ivm spotterdag/avond voor hun leden:
Aankomende 9 Juni is de planning dat de twaalf F-35’s en acht F-16’s die momenteel in Noorwegen en Zweden staan, terugkeren naar Volkel. Aankomst wordt verwacht tussen 19:00 en 21:00 uur lokale tijd.

I presume the Scheiweg? Park at one of the parking spaces along the N264 ad walk around the runway threshold (via the road, not the farm land).

Ik hoorde een gerucht dat er morgen maar 8 F-35s terug komen naar Volkel, en dat de andere 4 ergens anders heen gaan. Kan/mag iemand dat bevestigen (of ontkennen)? En als het klopt, waar gaat de rest dan heen?

EDIT: ik heb ondertussen begrepen dat ze wel alle 12 naar Volkel komen, maar dat de eerste vier wellicht een stuk eerder arriveren dan de rest.

Er is voor Eindhoven een uitwijk flightplan rond 13.00LT (de openingstijd van Volkel vanmiddag), dus dat betekent dat de kisten kort na 13u op Volkel verwacht worden

Can someone confirm their callsigns, please?
We are talking here about Dutch F-35's returning to Volkel, NOT about LN F-35's to LN
