REQ Volkel flying

[patrick dirksen]

Hi, I will probably have the opportunity to spend a few hours at the fence Thursday afternoon. That's perfectly one day too late for the next F-35 delivery of course, but what would be the chances I could get the 313 squadron special tail in front of my camera? Has that been flying recently? And in general, probably a twoship and that's it, or do they fly more already?

Patrick, judging from SGV's FB page, two F-35s flew missions this week on monday and tuesday. In both cases these were F-028 and F-031. So both a/c with tiger markings! Good luck.

Thanks!

Happy hunting!
Would be glad to hear the outcome, to know if it could be good for me to do likewise.
Thanks!

Might be your lucky day....

Four expected to leave for Leeuwarden in de afternoon (including the Tiger tail).
And F-037 will be delivered in the afternoon as well.

Best regards Rob

Sounds great! Any timing?

Helaas, geen lucky day. De nieuwe F-35 werd ruim een uur te vroeg afgeleverd, en ook de drie (een vierde was stuk blijkbaar) F-35s die naar Leeuwarden zijn vertrokken, gingen voordat ik er was. In de middag gingen er nog wel 6 F-16s uit voor een lokale missie, hoera... Voor de volledigheid, dat warren de J-006, 020, 055, 060, 367 en 515, allemaal met 312 badge.
