2020: no EART tanker refuelling exercise at Eindhoven.......

[Stratofreighter]

...anyone already heard some rumours about possible participants

Is EART 2020 to be held at all,
concurrently with Frisian Flag 2020

[Daniel Ravenswaay]

A rumour (!) I heard this year was possible participation of an Aussie KC-30. Could make sense of course with the new Nato tanker fleet under way.
But once again, it's a rumour.

"The EART (European Air Refuelling Training) exercise organised by the European Air Transport Command will not be hosted in The Netherlands in 2020. My bet is it will be in Spain linked to a TLP Exercise later in year. When it will be nice and warm. #EATC"

EATC is striving to become a center of expertise for air-to-air refuelling and intends to offer to the nations a toolbox to plug an EART training into any large fighter exercise in Europe.

Time will tell.

That would increase trainingvalue for sure

Following EATC calendar, no EART this year out of Eindhoven. Just one in october in Spain.

Dit jaar zal er geen EART (European Air Refueling Training) tankeroefening op Eindhoven plaatsvinden,
tegelijkertijd met luchtmachtoefening ‘Frisian Flag’.

Dit werd bevestigd door een woordvoerder van EATC.

Perhaps another edition of EART at Eindhoven in 2021
