Normally the first launch is around 09.30 lt. Ten F-16s appears to be the maximum these days.

Falcon 20s launched at 09.00 lt yesterday and today.

Just came back from a very dark Volkel.

Three FRA Da-20's are parked at the cross-line with the two Mirage 2000's parked in between.

Unfortunately it was already too dark to read any serials.

Anyone??

Best regards, Rob.

PS. Thanks Oscar for the info, otherwise I would have missed those 2000's.

From a press release:

Vliegbasis Volkel neemt van 21 november tot 02 februari 2009 de Quick Reaction Alert (QRA)-taak over van vliegbasis Leeuwarden. Gedurende deze periode staan twee F-16 gevechtsvliegtuigen 24 uur per dag, 7 dagen per week paraat om binnen enkele minuten op te stijgen om een ongeïdentificeerd toestel te onderscheppen. De QRA is een belangrijke taak die de Koninklijke Luchtmacht uitvoert in het kader van de nationale veiligheid.

De Koninklijke Luchtmacht voert de QRA-taak uit met F-16´s in nauwe samenwerking met het Air Operations Control Station (AOCS) in Nieuw Milligen. Wanneer de gevechtsleiding van het AOCS opmerkt dat een onbekend vliegtuig het Nederlandse luchtruim binnenvliegt zonder radiocontact te maken, worden de F-16’s van de QRA gealarmeerd om op te stijgen en het toestel te onderscheppen. De QRA taak wordt door de beide F-16 vliegbases van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht, Volkel en Leeuwarden vervuld.

PS Today was pretty much 'tote Hose' at Volkel, apart from the departing Falcon 20s.

Greetings,
Stefan

Hi,

Monday 17 November 2008:

(ZG887) Lynx AH9 AAC crossed the field heading east (serial assumed from notes at Koksijde and Gilze-Rijen)

AFAIK no F-16s flew yesterday (like Friday). Today 2 took-off at 08.00 lt and then it went quiet again until the afternoon.

Greetings,
Stefan

Hi,

Just heard from inside that the arrival of the 4 AMI F-16s is postponed or maybe cancelled due weather circumstances....

Just wait and see.

Regards,

Maurits
