The fourth F-16 that banked away early was F-16BM FB-20 (photoproof).

There were also a further 14 civil aircraft present. I need to check my photos to see which ones they were.

Yes there will be a Frisian Flag in 2020.

Dates are not yet confirmed. Assuming that the organisers will stay away from flying on days like Good Friday, Easter Monday and King's Day, my guess would be March 23 to April 3.

Thank you for this interesting log Ben!

I am afraid you mixed up TLG 31 (Nörvenich) and TLG 71 (Wittmundhafen): 30+82 is a TLG 71 aircraft, whereas the Eurofighters you state as belonging to TLG 71 in fact have TLG 31 markings.

Very nice event indeed, with good photo opportunities. Despite the cloudy weather I am very happy with the results. Lots of helos that I had not seen before, so worth the trip. Pity about the Gazelle not turning up, though.

In addition, F-16CJ 91-0340/SP came in late afternoon. Probably returned after maintenance as it was in clean configuration.
Both F-35s that went to Marham departed 1346 and returned 1708 LT.

I took a distant shot of it while standing in the approach of the southern runway of CdG on Tuesday morning, which cl...

Both the C295M and C-130H confirmed visually.

Never trust weather forecasts for 6 days ahead anyway... I have been to many events with bad forecasts, and then it turned out to be sunny for a large part of the day after all. So no reason for me to cancel!

C-17A 00-0183 arrived 1104LT. Parked on runway 27 end.

Last 4 MN ANG F-16s departed 1047-1048LT. Tails 406/409/408/082.

First 6 MN ANG F-16s departed 1003-1005LT. Tails 405/341/081/831/349/410.
Remainder now waiting for take-off.

Swiss AF Beech 1900D T-729 flying north of Frankfurt, might also come to Leeuwarden.

Tankers are up, so i guess rumours about cancellation for the rest of the week proved to be wrong, or have been solved one way or another. Can you guys please stop suggesting that Frisian Flag cannot go ahead without the Swiss Hornets? It is absolute nonsense to think that the entire exercise would...
