Should that not be the third week?
Third week runs from 3 till 7 December. And as you know the Pelicans should be there from 10 till 14th December.

So the mistake was on our side!!! (Sorry)...

FAF6410 and FAF6420 came in from EDDK, did a IFR training at EBFS and went to EBBE. Today they'll leave at 1300 local for LKPR with an IFR training in ETSI

TLP Monday 3rd December - Mission impacted by weather?

Post by theo »

Dear fellow spotters,
I am planning a trip to Florennes tomorrow Monday Dec 3rd. Looking at the weather forecast the weather is rather good, especially when compared with the remainder of the week.
Does anyone know if the mission of tomorrow will be affected by the hard winds (4-5 Beafort)?
Thanks for your information.

Thanks Jeremy,
But how do you know this for sure? Could you please explain your posting and especially what your source is? Or is it your personal judgement?
Kind Regards,
Theo

TLP normally decides after weather briefing of the day, so I do not think Jeremy's comment is based on any real information; probably just trying to mislead us ;-)

(also look at his previous comments ...)

Will see tomorrow, according to http://www.kmi.be" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and USAS weather forecast good weather of Belgium tomorrow by midday, however; I see potential target areas restricted to Belgium itself (unrealistic), Northern France, Polygone and West Germany only, UK looks difficult, Netherlands - no idea ...

However, the best weather for the whole week and TLP not flying since last Wednesday, so good chances, wind is expected along runway axis so normally no problem (only cross winds are really dangerous ...).

Also, some additional fighters (4 x EF.18) normally should arrive tomorrow, plus support, and local flights and any chance of TLP aircraft performing DACT in case TLP mission is cancelled.

So the comment "all flights cancelled" looks very odd and strange to me. Would not recommend to rely on that. Good luck to all trying their best tomorrow!!!

Cheers, RdF

just been informed that the TLP INTENDS to fly today (target area in France). Final decision later today. Good luck!

(at least there is NO problem with wind, exactly on the runway axis today!)

Dear fellow spotters,
Based on the information of yesterday evening I had to cancel my trip to Florennes. If the posted information is not valid I would be very disappointed and would urge all people who post information to do this only if the information is reliable. Less reliable information can be posted ofcourse (not everything is black and white) but at least include in the posting the source and some indication how reliable or unreliable the posting is.
Kind Regards,
Theo

Just because it's on the Internet doesn't make it true. Unless extreme weather is expected, I have never seen flight ops being cancelled 24 hours a head just because of the weather.

Flight ops always gathers the most actual weather data when preparing the flight that morning and only then the mission commander decides to postpone, change or cancel the fragged mission.

All true, but still a "joke" like the one Jeremy makes here is no good! :evil:
Those kind of replies can only cause confusion to say the least.
