Good morning

Is there any more info about the ETA for the eagles? On Facebook it was 16:15 for the first six eagles and 30 minutes later the last six eagles.

Thanks

Info still correct, take in account +/- 1 hour for weather over the ocean

[Joostmil]

FAF CN235 11:45-12:45lt
AFP C130 14:00-16:00lt

Mentioned callsigns for the F15's are CUBE11-16 and CUBE21-26.

With 27 knots wind direction 259 according to windfinder

The most probably runway for landing will be 27 in my opinion ?

Or is the runway not in use for landings

Runway 23 will be in use most likely.

27 is closed, because it is reserved as parking space for C17's
And the USAF F15's and C17's don't like short runways is my experience from last couple of visits

[Melvin85]

Thanks for your info

The Eagles will most probably be parked at the north side off the base
just like last years ?

[Bennie]

A wind correction angle of approx. 30 degrees (259 degrees wind minus 230 degrees runway) at a velocity of 27 knots results in a cross wind component of only 13,5 knots.
Easy job for an Eagle Driver!

Meaning RWY23 would be most likely.

RCH712 C17 07-7188 Should have left Keflavik for Leeuwarden 0410Z. Originated out of Jacksonville.

[Reforger]

Looks like a no go for the Eagles today since nothings up in the air yet?

[Ranger]

Just been informed. F15's 24hrs delay.

Cheers,
Ranger
