Inquiry flightline north
With the upcoming FF exercise I have a question which may be relevant for many others as well and cannot be found in the relevant airfield guide.
Where is the best way to view the parked Eagles on the northern flightline?
From past experience over the years I noted that the bushes/shrubs are obscuring the views now from the spottershill as well as from the southern track leading to the 09 threshold.
MTIA,

Re: Inquiry flightline north
It's not possible to view the Eagles on the Flightline. Due to a construction site access at the northside of the airbase is not allowed.

I viewed the Eagles from 53.23596 5.77556 last year, is this where the construction work is taking place?
Thanks,
Tim.

Ten F-15s were this morning on the flight line.
Nine were read from the old railway line (mentioned in Scramble Air Field Guide spot 2)
The last one was read from the other side, from Nijlansdijk.
This last road had a still open temporary movable fence,
so this road might be closed off when the exercise really starts.

For the benefit of Mr. Kite, there will be a show tonight on trampoline
