From Friday 25-02-2013 till Friday 01-03-2013 there will held an large exercise caled "Forceval 2013" on Schleswig-Jagel, Germany.
The participants of this excercise come from different bases from Germany.
There do a total of 19 aircraft and 1600 soldiers with this exercise.
This are Tornados from Jagel (AG51 "Immelmann"), Büchel (JG33), Lechfeld (JG32) and the Eurofighters from Laage (JG73 "Steinhoff") and Neuburg (JG74).
Here is an link with more information about this exercise.
The way i understand it, this artical is about the "joint warrior 2012" exercise, held in Lossiemouth, Scotland.
Not about the upcoming "Forceval" exercise, to be held this month.
There should be a lot of flying activity though. Last time in 2009 (Trollenhagen) they flew two to three missions a day with
around 15 planes each time.
We arrived at 11:00 and immediately two Buchel Tornado's showed up on approach, full recovery of the morning mission was before 12:00. Don't believe we have missed much more in the morning.
The afternoon mission started around 14:00, we left the field at 15:30 and believe that the mission was fully launched by then.
At 13:15 a single JG 74 Typhoon 30+40 left for a local (test?) flight, landed at about 14:00h.
In the sheds near the entrance two Tornado's could be seen, one could not be read, the other one being towed into the shed around 11.10h was the 46+51.
During the launch of the afternoon wave two more Tornado's could be seen being towed across the field!
