Frisian Flag Beginner questions

Post by raclim »

Hello everyone!

This year I will be visiting Frisian Flag for the first time. I am lucky to have the luxery of having a girlfriend that owns a student home a stone-throw away from the air-base, so an overnight stay is included :D

But I have some questions, which I hope a couple of FF veterans with prior experience can answer for me.

- Which days of the week usually has the most flying activity?
- Do they fly multiple missions/waves a day?
- At what time do they usually launch the waves and at what time to they usually return?
- In which threat on this forum can I find which runway (6 or 24) is in use on the day/time I will be visiting?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Randy

Keep an eye out on -> this topic as most information can be found here. If not mistaken the aim is to fly 2 waves a day, directions of flight is weather dependable and wave times are most likely to be announced shortly prior the start of Frisian Flag.

Usually waves take off from 0900 till about 10:00, and from about 13:00 till 14:00. Landings are from approx 10:30 to 12:00 and from 14:30 till 15:30/16:00. Of course, this is just a rough estimate and times might vary a little bit.
Cheers,
Gideon
