RNLAF F-35 12 + spare
RNLAF F-16 4 + spare
BAF F-16 8
GAF EF2000 8
RDAF F-16 4
FINAF F-18 3
ITAF F-35 5
US F-35 4
UK Navy F-35B 4 (week 2)

Whereas ITAF appears to be a little unclear as they have a deployment to Laage as well during that same period......
Will they all operate from Leeuwarden?

Is that a estimated guess or do you have a source that confirms that?

No tanker assist this year for frisian flag?
Eart 2023 is simultane with FF but is flying from Spain. (Homepage eatc as source).

Or Eart from Spain and enough tankers at Eindhoven and Frankfurt for the assist on FF 2023?

Kind regards,

Plenty of tankers left in the area for support at EHEH and Koln + KC135 from Mildenhall and A-400 from Wunstorf
