Guys;
they've started the registration on Wednesday morning. There's only a hand full of people wortking at "Public Relation Office" from 0700 till latest 1700lt. Those guys have a lot more to do than pressing the F5 button, and look for new registration mails received.
On friday they've finish work around 1200lt.

SO what are you moaning about!?? Why nowadays behaviour is always being impatient? Just wait a few days and don't be a pain in the neck to those being involved, giving you this very last opportunity to shot the Phantom on base.
Be happy about, that there will be a last ever chance for thousands of so called "spotters", to enjoy a great day at Wittmund!!

It's not moaning. It has to do with (in my case) having no experience on how this goes. When you're in crowd like Tigerspoon it's something else, I can see that. I just picked up spotting again a couple of years a go and the last 2 years I only saw: "Spotting registration full" or similar messages by the time I discovered that something interesting was going to happen. So It's just that some people (like me) are eager to go and will be happy when they're sure of that . Nothing more, nothing less. OK? And of course I'm very happy for this last chance to go and I DO appreciate that an awful lot. No difference there!!!

Please have some patience ... It hasn't even been a week since you and many others ( me too ) have send in their registrations. One can expect many more enthusiasts are doing so, even up till this moment !
Only a few people within the Wittmund airbase community are tasked with this labour.
And it probably takes quite some time to process everyone.

Gents, so far more as 1700 spotters have been send registrations, and still counting...and as people always calling the PAO for example if there registration
did get through, it all means, that they spent more time on the phone, instead people be patient and waiting there approval...Their is just a handfull people working all those registrations step-by-step as the "arrived" in Wittmund! And this means, lots of hard work to do for them....! U can be sure, they do everything they can , to fullfill your expectations.....

If true, it will be a busy day for the Frecce, as they are also scheduled for Zeltweg the same day.
