What is your source Roberto regarding the F-15's flying from their homebase in stead of LWD?

Regards, Reaper

People working on base. It was first the plan to park F15's and F4F's on the 322 flight line. Last news is that only the F4F's will be parked here.

and what was the reason for the visit of the Finn Lj35 at the FF pre visit day??

Latest news and please don't shot the messenger ;-((
The Finnish F18's definitely are NOT coming.
And the last news is that also the Yanks will NOT participate with the F15C's, so also not flying from LN.
At this moment only KLu and BAF F16's, JG71 F4F's and EC1/7 Rafales.
Couldn't get any info on the HH60's, so not sure it these are still on the list.
Lets hope 323sqn finds some new participants soon.

What's the best day to go spotting?? (yeah, I know when there is a blue sky)

Do the planes fly every day and the whole day?? And were are the places near the base where it is possible to make the pictures??

Vliegen ze elke dag of bepaalde tijden?? En waar kun je het beste staan om de mooiste foto's te maken??

ik hoop dat iemand me hierbij kan helpen.

Received an E-mail from the spottinggroup I'm a member of (SGHK) that a spottersday will be held on Wednesday the 9th of April. Four members of each spottinggroup are given access to the base from 1200 - 1600 hours. So if you are a member and haven't heard anything from your own group, maybe wise to check this..

\very strange there is not much animo for this exercise by all other air forces as this should be equivalent to the Red Flag exercise but close to home.

FrankCrebas · Post by **FrankCrebas** » 22 Mar 2008, 17:10

There is also a spring Flag exercise in Italy around the same period as well.
