4+1 is something completely different then 5 Daan. Just follow the information provided by Joost, trust me he might be right! Or are you trying to tell us 5 will be flying?

With the Roermond missing man flight there’s always 5 airborne of which one is an air spare.

So probably the same here. 5 take off, 4 do the missing man.

4 + 1 = 5, the 5th aircraft being the spare will also fly, so yes, 5 F-16s are planned to depart but 4 of those will do the flypast, seems kind of self explanatory and doesn't really need context I assume..

Well Stratofreighter your message is the first off-topic one.
4 flying + 1 ground spare or 1 air spare could both be options isn't it. But don't get me wrong, love your pre- moderation work!

OK mannen, alle info wordt gewaardeerd maar daar verstaan we wel onder: nieuwe of aanvullende info. Bevestigen wat er al staat in het kader van 'ik weet het ook' valt daar niet onder. Wees dus aub niet alleen kritisch op anderen maar ook op wat je zelf post.
Verder lijkt mij de hele issue hierboven niet zo belangrijk maar mocht er iemand zijn die zeker wel gaat kijken als er vijf de lucht in gaan maar thuis blijft als het er vier zijn dan lees ik dat graag (in een PM).
En het laatste waar we op zitten te wachten zijn inderdaad off-topic wijsneusopmerkingen van mensen die door ons meer dan eens bijgestuurd moeten worden om bij de regels te blijven of serieuze copyrightproblemen voor de stichting op te lossen/te voorkomen.

Grtz,
Erik
