Great!

Where does the Stratotanker originates from?
USAFE Mildenhall; France or the famous USAF/ANG tiger Stratotankers....

Greetings,

probably from the following:

The 141st ARS, New Jersey ANG have a tradition of painting a large tiger on their KC-135 for Tiger Meet’s.

I hope the dates for the E-3 are not correct....

Perhaps the organisation is able to get some TX Ang F-16's to Kleine-Brogel ...
They should be in Europe ( Caslav ) in September, though only for 10 days... But one never knows.

[Oscar01]

Good Idea, but might be tight. TX F-16s are due to arrive the 4th and should leave the date of the tiger meet.......

The 141st ARS is not participating in NTM 2009.

[maurits]

Hi,

Can anyone cleared up why the Turkish F-16s from 192 Filo not participate or invited this NTM?
I could not find any one info on this...

Regards,

Maurits

As for every TigerMeet, ALL tigersquadrons were invited to participate; but it's not always possible for all to attend ( budget cuts, operational commitments, conversions etc )

The tarmacs at KB airbase will anyway be fully packed with aircraft, as also many of the airshow participants will arrive on friday.
