The following Leeuwarden F16's are inbound Eindhoven today:
J210, 198, 872, 876, 877, 871, 875, 203, 064, 869, 202, 207, 648.

Airbase is open for every one as far as i can read on Flugzeugforum and it starts in the afternoon.
Parking is at the kaserne as far as i know.

Got an answer from a Wittmund spotter, with a neighbour working on base, that the Phantoms will not fly monday (only QRA if necessary). But base is open for visitors. And as the Etendarts pilots told Crizz that they would return via Wittmund, i think best bet is Wittmund. Let's hope Otto can find a ...

Their intention is to return via Wittmund to France on monday.
Problem is NOTAM says Wittmund is closed that day.
I hope someone in Germany knows more about this.

Ala 15 is correct, callsign for this flight is AME1533
maybe they still use the same tiger aircraft as last year?
Departure time for the F18's is 900z (or 1100 local)

On route to the Arctic Tiger Meet 4 Spanish EF18's are fuel stopping at Leeuwarden on 24/9
ETA should be 750z

maybe EHLW is diversion field in case of a problem, but X-servicing is not expecting any visitors tomorrow, sadly.

Etendards for 14/9 are cancelled

Static is at any airshow always a surprise, but if they park the aircraft again along the sides of the apron some decent shots should be possible. Flying will take place over the southern runway so you will be facing the sun, but the road along the southside of the field is open so you can stand out...

Look again and you see that the website of the Hunter group has been updated

The Spanish army people who are exercising in the Marnewaard area are returning home this week.
Thursday 6/9
2x Spanish C-130 09.30 / 10.00 Z RON

Friday 7/9
1 Spanish C-295 11.00 Z

Pity the T17 is not coming back.

Leeuwarden refuses to open on that day, so they first would go to Eelde and this has now changed to Soesterberg.
A Hunter crewchief also mentioned that some other participants would fly from SSB, so i thought Breitling team.

Hunter is flying from Soesterberg and probably also Team Breitling .

These kind of exercises take normally between 1 and 2 weeks, last year they arrived 8/9 and departed 16/9 (via Eelde because it was weekend).
So a good guess is that they will leave next week friday or saturday.
Just heard they start playing allready tomorrow.

The B707 was the T17-3 / 47-03 and it had indeed personnel onboard for an exercise in the Marnewaard area starting next week.
