Scramble Messageboard

Next week the last Tornado flying training will start at 4./TLwG 51. This could last for a year, depending on weather and aircraft availability. Even if some six Tornados of the fleet were already phased out in the last months (the seventh TLwG 33 mount 43+92 should be the next) some further wfu dat...

Rumors say that the Luftwaffe could be interested in aquiring some more A400M (up to 30!) in the future. Even if this could probably not be the right decision all should be then still based at Wunstorf, with at least 20-30 will be at maintenance at any given time. The foils for the three A400M 54+61...

The first of 31 NH-90 MRFH Sea Tiger, serial 79+70, will be delivered to MFG 5 as SEAL01 on 9.12.

Rare visitor on 09.12. is WTD 61 CH-53GA 84+26.

E-006 is still in it’s special F-16 50th anniversary livery, noted so in early-December. It is likely that it will do a very last flight in this colours on January 18th 2026 when the Flyvevabnet will conclude 46 years of Fighting Falcon operations. Two F-16 should take part in Svenska Flygvapnet‘s a...

On 1.12. the two A400M 54+09 (replaced 54+35 during the exercise) and 54+12 returned from New Zealand flying via Australia, Kuala Lumpur, Male, Dubai and Elefsis.

E-074 and E-107 were confirmed as still in Denmark so my post from then has to be altered. The same for E-610. E-608 could be a missinterpreting photo which I hopefully could clarify soon. The second crashed Ukranian F-16 obviously was ex-Dannebrog E-191 (!), which happened on 16.05.2025. Also confi...

Jever will dedicated again as a full air base!

Don’t think so, Bunzing, as E-608 should be in UKR.

Here the FAA F-16 serials distribution: M-1001 ex ET612 conf. M-1002 ex ET613 M-1003 ex ET614 M-1004 ex ET615 confirmed del. 28.11.25 M-1005 ex ET-197 confirmed del. 28.11.25 M-1006 ex ET-198 M-1007 ex ET-199 confirmed del. 28.11.25 M-1008 ex ET-022 confirmed del. 28.11.25 M-1009 ex E-602 confirmed ...

E-024 and E-075 are in Ukraine, E-011, E-074 and E-107 are planned for the FAA.

As now seven FAA F-16 serials are known the other are quite easy to research. F-16BM at first from M-1001 to 1008, in Fiscal year and serial order (ET-612 to ET-022). Then F-16AM, also in FY and serial order, M-1009 to 1024 (E-602 to E-018).

Obviously six, not eight F-16 departed, so perhaps including two ground spares (presumably M-1001/ex ET-612) with did not take off.

Surprises were E-007 and E-602, the latter was still part of AVB/QRA mid-October. ET-022, ET-197 and ET-199 flew last time at least in August.

The following landed at Zaragoza:

First group: M-1009 (ex E-602), M-1005 (ex ET-197), M-1008 (ex ET-022)

Second group: M-1020 (ex E-007), M-1004 (ex ET-615), M-1007 (ET-199).

Thanks to Zaragoza and Stippie.

The Argentinian contingent left Skrydstrup in the morning of 28.11. with the B.737 TC-99 leaving first just after 8.00h and from 9.10 to 9.20h six F-16AM/BM followed as "Condor 11 to 13" and "Condor 14 to 16" for Zaragoza. The KC-130H TC-69 left at 10.30h local. Due to the very b...
