regarding http://www.sgvolkel.nl it looks like there is a problem with the tanker, so they didn't expect them to arrive at the 07th or 08th. can anyone confirm this?! Also the Notam for the additional times is cancelled, so it definitely looks like they're not coming in the next days!Nilson wrote:From what I have heard is that the unit at Tucson was planned to continue with 10 falcons. So that four falcons will return.

Being on field when the "Chilean" falcons left, I already heard this message, with the following additions;
What I understood was when all falcons moved from Springfield, Ohio to Tucson, Arizona, they all changed there "colors", except for a view that didn't got the new AZ-codes and stripes.
It's unclear why this was, it could be that these "clean" F-16s are the ones that will return to Volkel, furthermore these returning F-16's should be put in storage, so probably no flying for these falcons anymore.
grtz.
