1 hour and 45 minutes of Thunderbirds...?! I guess that would be the timeframe to chase the static
Two years ago it was possible (including live-chat, mostly in Dutch, lots of scramble forum usernames came along ), last years it wasn't. Don't know about this year.

Other side of Runway:
15x 16WPS F-16C/D all with code WA:
90-0746, 91-0473, 89-2048, 90-0839, 91-0478, 90-0726, 92-3882, 90-0750, 90-0707,
90-0721, 88-0499, 91-0467, 90-0729, 90-0728 (also flying) + 1 read as 91-0466. The
last one should be a Thunderbirds F-16D ?!?
6x A-10C:
79-0169/OT (also flying) , 82-0658/OT, 79-0199/OT, 79-0171/OT, 80-0200/WA + 1 with code DM and red fintip parked with the 15 WA F-16's. Id anyone ??
Department of Energy (DOE):
Beech 350 : N470SC, N111SX
Bell 412: N10299, N366MB
Thank you for the corrections, the serials were correct in my note book. 433 squadron is indeed 433 WPS since a long time, so I corrected my database. I corrected also my first message above.
I know there were one or two rows more with F-15's, but I read the aircraft from the militairy side and these were more difficult, because of the buildings. And I was a little bit lazy, because I already participated in Red Flag last year for a couple of weeks. (Fortunately no new ones !)
- Can you confirm the tailcode of F-22A 06-4111 OT or WA ?
- Still looking for the serial of the DM A-10C on the other side of runway near the 16WPS F-16's.
- Confirmation or correction of 16WPS F-16 I read as 91-0466 / WA on otherside of runway.
