Please inform me about the status of the airfield for this week.
According this forum there is nightflying this week.
However there is no NOTAM about changed opening times, as there is for Volkel.
With these sunny days and easterly winds I would like to enjoy a day at LWD but some aircraft would be a major plus.

So did they fly this monday morning?

thanks

[CRUISECONTROL]

Leeuwarden did not fly this (monday) morning, so there will be nightflying.
It's indeed ferry strange, that there is no NOTAM-opening times-update for this week.
We keep you informed.

Do you know why?

Do you know why?

I think that they were to heavy and to save the breaks, they where just airborne and there was no time to burn fuel, due to Weather-recall, all viper had to go direct RTB lwd, see the rapid weather change at Lwd.
