Exercise Green shield 2014 @ Nancy-Ochey..

[Custard Gannet]

Hi
There's a rumor on a German forum saying they maybe arriving on wednesday the 2nd , a couple of days of working with the local units/ weekend then the exercise.

Sounds plausible !

Tankers may land at Istres , this is just an assumption based upon previous deployments.

Keep in mind that for example Avord could also be an option. Seen two Singapore KC-135's there some years ago, when Singapore F-16's visited Dijon back then.

The latest is these are expected on the 3rd.

Comments welcome!.

well,LFSF airbase closed a while ago and still left LFJL option....The strange thing is during previous green shield ops , several c-130's were seen @LFSD a week before f-15 arrivals!As far as i know , no support a/c has visited LFSO yet....

4 Saudi hercs and 1 tanker inbound this afternoon. No sign of fighters (yet).

The Fi15s are expected tomorrow around 12.00 LT according to local Nancy sources.

still no F15 flight plans showing but I guess they are on the way as the following flight plans have been filed in the air for tankers to LFJL - so much for filing your flight plans before you get airborne....

2401 RSF4352 A332 eta 1315z
2402 RSF4353 A332 eta 1320z

[Rubberneck]

eta's for RSF4352 & 4353 are changing as well as they get shorter routes than filed - or the timings were just wrong due to being filed in the air.

4352 currently showing 1300Z and 4353 1310Z

guess they may arrive even earlier.

[Rubberneck]

now showing as 1245z & 1300z

[signorino]

They are crossing the italian border now. 4352 near Rome 4353 near Naples..

now showing eta 1225z and 1240z
