Wittmund (ETNT) - 2013 MIL

Unlikely. There are 4 Mirages, not 5, and they will be relieved in the first week of September. They won't leave a two-week gap in between, right? If anyone has more info, please share, I really like to capture them for one last time.

Hello,

when can we expect the 4 Mirage F-1's back at Wittmund from their TDY in Lithuania??
Those 4 did are fuel stop end of April and the Belgians are taking over the TDY this week or next week...

Message on FF says friday 16/8 (2x F1B and 3x F1CR)

That message also says they are heading for Lithuania, not from Lithuania.

[jeroenvv]

That would explain something. We're in doubt as we want to choose between Wittmund for the Mirages, or drive to Nordholz for the arrivals. If they come by early in the morning we could do both.

[Stefan]

Further info suggests that they might be on their way to Russia, not Lithuania.

The original message at FF is not recalled and contains rather specific details. Not sure how you define a rumour...

Hi,

I've found a French article about the Mirages F1's on their way to Russia.
They are at Russia for an 4 days exercise.

Sad to hear that they don't come back to Wittmund again for an fuel stop.
But i'm so happy to photograph this Mirages F-1s on their fuel stop at Wittmund on 16-08-2013.
This day was a very nice day @ Wittmund!!!
I think this was the last time i've seen this very nice aircrafts in active service.
