The next phase of Juniper Falcon 2017 will see 12 Lakenheath F-15Es arrive in Israel later today. Southern Arava residents can expect an increase of jet noise in the Ovda area for the next two-three weeks. Cube 31-34 will be first with 91-0313, 0309, 0311 & 0324 from the 494th FS. NATO C-17As Bartok 01 & 03 are also airborne presumably helping out logistically.

In the end 14 LN Strikes appeared and flew typically two missions a day with 9 aircraft each time. Numerous "Bobby" Tankers and "Bartok" C-17s today suggest they have gone home. They were flying with a similar number of 69 sqn F-15Is (including 205, 209, 212, 215, 220, 223, 235, 244, 269 & 271, plus 252 flying as an aggressor)

115 sqn were using all their newly acquired assets, 344, 355, 360, 367 & 373
