I heared from people at volkel, that they are supposed to get 8 F-16's for the Airpower demo and 1 flying spare. and that it will be a hell of a job to get them in the air on time, as there where only 2 or 3 flyable last week. 6 Volkel F-16 are in Canada and i believe 4 Volkel F-16's in Afganistan. The ones sold to Chile won't fly anymore because they reached there Hours.
What i have heard non of the Leeuwarden F-16's will take place in the Air power demo.
Ben je bijna klaar met je deelnemerslijst op de KLu site?
Ik mis n.l. nog wat "standaard" spul, zoals een Mirage 2000, A-10 e.d.
Tevens mis ik b.v. de Kustwacht Do-228 en een NLR Metroliner.

Hi LV84,
I'm not jb5 but i know that they are busy to contacting the US Navy. Sadly at this time (thursday the 10th) they don't receive any response from the US Navy people.

I thought he was canceld??
Cheers,

The GR-9 is not coming (As already mentioned before it's seems difficult to get something on-line, but it's much more difficult to remove or change it.)
The Jordanian Hercs are "normal" traffic, so not mentioned as support aircraft on the site. They are also leaving before "de Luchtmachtdagen". Only support aircraft which stay during "de Luchtmachtdagen" will be posted on the site.
I know, but i meand that the Demo team is not mentioned at http://www.luchtmacht.nl" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. and what i read on the internet is that the 2 hercs are brining them over.

I would also prefer to see (much) more fighters. Very low and with lots of afterburner.
Hopefully they will at least make up for that with an impressive amount of choppers.
