The SJ F-15E's came from Afghanistan and on their way to CONUS. No Libya involved AFAIK

I read on the internet somewhere that on Saturday 2 AC-130U's arrived at the Hall (89-1054 & 90-0163)

[Oscar01]

Nope, second one didn't arrive. Was flightplanned, but probably diverted.

According to Belgium Defence forces BAF F-16 carried out first operation today. So I asume they are still at Araxos.

BTW where are the Dutch F-16 ?

BTW where are the Dutch F-16 ?

Waiting for a request from NATO. (If that will come, latest rumours indicate Dutch support will be by minehunter Hr. Ms. Haarlem)

[Iroquois]

I heard the Dutch KDC-10 will support the Norwegian F-16s on their way to Italy. Any news if it will stay there too?
