Plan was to fly against British, Danish, German and Dutch fighters the coming weeks, we will have to wait and see how many missions daily will be flown.

With FF2017 now completed I would like to compliment AGL for the excellent facilities on the Marsum side again. Enough space, good terrain, a very acceptable parking price, toilets and last but not least the snack-joint which is always pleasant in the Frisian Freeze (thats how they should call it! :D )

Regards, Paul

En natuurlijk de jongens en meisjes van de KLu die er weer een geweldig geheel van gemaakt hebben met leuke vliegende deelnemers.
AGL en KLu bedankt!

Agreed 100%. Great job to the volunteers, the farmer for opening up his land, and the KLu for such a great event. Much appreciated.

The US will definitely be excluded, as they will remain at Leeuwarden till the end of april, as communicated by the Klu...
Any idea where they will go after Leeuwarden?
Arctic Challenge 2017 has '12x F-15' from Rovaniemi (could be USAFE though) could be a mix of LN F-15C and ANG?
This one runs from 22 May-2 June.

Otherwise Graf or something in Romania are amongst the usual suspects. Thought I read this time deployment length is around three months, last year's was six, so less time to reposition.

As far as i know the Louisiane guys (122EFS) do the first 3 months and the Florida guys the next 3 months of this deployment, so 6 total.
I hope to hear in a couple of days from a Finnish contact which Eagles are expected in Finland

On monday 8 F15's in the morning and i believe 6 in the afternoon, so about the same as during FF (they flew against Dutch F16's)
What will happen in the next weeks is just wait and see
