I hear the Turks and Greeks have cancelled for Exercise Brilliant Ardent.

4x M2000 FAF are confirmed
According to flugzeugforum, the greeks have cancelled, but the Turkish participation should still come...

[EHAM]

According to the new SIS Summary the Turks are confirmed by the TuAF headquarters.

Hi guys,
I've not understand if the HAF F-16 will be or not in the exercise, because in SIS summary they appear yet. Can somebody confirm their partecipation?
See also, that the Tuaf will partecipate with a KC-135, so it's possible (or sure?) that they will made an a/a refuelling from Turkey to Germany?
Thanks in advance for any info.
Ciao

I have came upon a NOTAM about TUAF deployment for BAT-10. The area reserved for AAR is over Black Sea, between FL230-FL260, on 08th April 0715Z-1045Z and return flight AAR is scheduled on 23rd April 0930Z-1300Z. Due to the large block time (three and a half hours) I suppose there will be more than just 182.Filo F-16s. Might be of interest to someone...

Best regards,

Hakan

Which would suggest that the F-16's will arrive on the 8th instead of the 9th.
Also the Tanker will then arrive at Geilenkirchen on the 8th. Isn't it ?

[13bevocie]

are the mirages coming to wittmundhafen?? And the f-16's were will they be based???

[K-9]

Both F-16's and M's ... are to be based at wittmund

Hi,

Looking at the airspace reservation for tomorrow, I would expect the Turks to arrive at Wittmund early afternoon.

Normally they fly "about" in the middle of the reservation (to be save they have extra time prior and after that for operational reasons). So that would mean 08.30-09.00z AR, then still 2hours?, so around 11.00z / 13.00lcl arrival.

But that's just an estimate!
