The last thing i heard was that FWIT starts 13 May, but first 2 weeks are acadamic weeks with limited flying.
There should be about 12 F16's participating from Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Portugal and NL.
Nothing known yet about opponents.

They'll try to fly 3 sorties a day

According to some "Nasty" intell there will be no Mirages and Eagles participating in this FWIT-edition.

Latest news is that there will be every day 2 waves of 12 F16's.
FWIT air to air phase starts 13 May and ends 25 July.
First 3 weeks are theoretical weeks with limited flying.
And luckely also some opponents were found:
9 - 18 june: 6 F15C LN
11 - 25 july : 4 Hawks and Eurofighters (i presume this will be 4 each allthough the KLu press release is not clear about this)

Also 659 and 670 RNoAF arrived this afternoon.
FB18 ocu landed also this afternoon probably to pick up a pilot.

E-611 was replacement for the E-601, because this one went home again.

You can forget the limited flying message concerning the first 3 weeks.
Today two waves with each 12 aircraft were flown, not by the students who are now looking at books, but the instructors will fly this week.

All Danish air force F16's just left EHLW 5 minutes ago enroute to Denmark, probably back monday morning just after 10.
Today 12 F16's flew the morning mission around 11.45 including 3 x RNoAF and 2 x RDAF F16's.
