Smallingerland is de (grote) gemeente waarvan Drachten hoofdplaats is..welke rol heeft EHDR in deze ?, landen er ook Heli's op de strip/baan...verder is ook de Motorcrossbaan Prikkedam bij Makkinga opgenomen in FARP....ligt stukkie verderop...

There seems to be a new FARP at Het Harde, helicopters have been landing and taking off around the area and the USAR Apaches & Chinooks just departed from there towards Drachten as well, no confirmation just yet but it may be the Arnhemse Heide one being moved to there

I don't think so. Dutch helos and a single Polish Hip went to Deelen and Ginkel today, and from there on continued to 't Harde for a specific action at the ASK there in the afternoon. US helos (mix of Chinooks, Black Hawks an Apaches) departed De Peel around sunset and went to Friesland (northeast of Drachten), then returned to the south. Looks like the FARPs are still at Deelen, Ginkel and Arnhemse Heide for the time being.

Can anyone confirm that it is not possible to access the former airfield of Valkenburg? Can't really find an answer to that question on the internet..

It seems the base is open (also due to several companies being located inside the fence, e.g. the theatre hangar "Soldaat van Oranje", which has a play that same evening), however, I wont be suprised that there may be some kind of check point set up at the former main gate to allow authorised individuals only. I too however, am hoping this is not the case, as from the outside very few locations seem suitable,

Je kan niet zomaar binnen komen lopen op ex-MVKValkenburg. Ja, er is idd 24/7 beveiliging. Ook zonder deze oefening. Reken er dus op dat je een plek buten de hekken moet zoeken. Lekker ouderwets spotten langs het hek. :wink:

Can anyone confirm that the FARP at the Ginkelse Heide is still present?
It could be an option for me for tomorrow, during the Air Assault at Valkenburg.

Er is een air assault demonstratie voor VIP's van 1030 tot 1230.
De extractie is waarschijnlijk na de lunch.

Hier nog iets specifieker:

10:30 tot 11:00 aankomst en vertrek helikopters met landingstroepen
11:00 tot 13:30 actie aan de grond
13:00 en 13:30 landingstroepen worden opgehaald met helikopters

Wat ik begreep was dat het gebied groots afgezet wordt.
Het gebied alleen toegankelijk is voor de genodigden.

De tijden zoals deze in de uitnodiging zijn als volgt:
11:00 - Aanvang operatie
12:00 - Einde operatie
All times are local, unless otherwise specified

En wat zou dan in dit geval de "beste" plek zijn om wat laagvlieg aktie te kunnen zien? Is een eeuw geleden dat ik voor het laatst op Valkenburg gestaan heb, ik herken er niets meer van vrees ik...

Probeer de Oude Broekweg vanuit het dorp Valkenburg te bereiken, alhoewel er wegwerkzaamheden zijn deze week.
Als het aan die kant van het veld niet gaat, probeer dan de Ruigelaan (aan de noordkant van het veld) in Wassenaar.
