Volkel EF-18s 16/17/18 May 2017

Post by Richard de Florennes »

Hello, various and partially conflicting information has been shared be various (?) sources regarding EF-18s at Volkel during the next three days, ranging from six aircraft arriving on 16 May and staying until 18 May to only two aircraft staying for only one night during this timeframe.
Anybody able to give more exact info or at least to rule out the possibly wrong infornation?

Yes, confirmed.
Arrival times are not published yet.
But the arrival should be wednesday and thursday.
And there are 2 planned so far... and it should be the Spanish Air Force.
So far from what I heard was for a mission somewhere in Sweden...
