No participation of Portugese AF. Due to commitments in the Baltic area.
And no Polish MIG-29's.

To bad the Polish Mig's and Portugese F-16's are cancelled. Means some less traffic during Frisian Flag as other years.

Number of aircraft to expect (based on the last two editions 2017 and 2018):

14x F-16AM/BM Klu, 312, 313 and 322 sqn;
8x Eufi's TLG31;
4x Mirage 2000D EC003;
5x F-16C/D Polish airforce, Poznan 3 or 6 ELT;
5x F/A-18 Swiss airforce, unit not known, 11, 17 or 18 FlSt;
12x F-16 ANG (6x Wisconsin and 6x Minnesota) - still unclear which units will show up.

In total to be expected: 44 aircraft. Per mission expect some 34 aircraft to fly.

Some less as the previous editions. Still a nice number of aircraft :D

Booked a hotel night for the 8th and 9th near Leeuwarden. Hopefully they will fly a lot those days :)
Do they also fly in the weekends? I don't they do, but if someone knows if they do, please tell me, because than we might book another night :)

How much flights can we expect per day?
And between what times is flown?
It will be my first time at FF so I have no idea what to expect. :)

TLwG 74 should also be part of FF. The wing will also take part at Artic Challenge and NTM.

Just check youtube to view movies from earlier editions. They fly two waves, morning and afternoon. Flying between 9.00 and 17.00. You will be amazed by the number of fighters each wave.

Spanish Hornet may not be new for FF but they didn't appear in earlier lists for FF19, did they?
