De Luchtmachtdagen 2017 die op de vliegbasis Volkel gehouden zouden worden, gaan niet door. Dat werd woensdagavond gemeld in het overleg tussen omwonenden, luchtmacht en bestuurders uit de regio.

Volgens Rob van den Heuvel van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht heeft defensie onvoldoende tijd om de jaarlijkse publieksdagen voor 2017 te organiseren.

De Luchtmachtdagen zijn elk jaar goed voor een paar honderdduizend bezoekers. Dit jaar waren die op de basis in Leeuwarden, in 2017 zou Volkel gastheer zijn. Of de Luchtmachtdagen in 2018 worden gehouden, is ook nog niet zeker.

As far as I know, Frisian Flag is not only paid for by the Dutch D.O.D but also by NATO funds.

According to preses releases it has nothing to do with money. They state that the manpower, equipment could be used for better things as training, overhauling etc.

Wasn't '18 the year there wouldn't be airforcedays due to the cuts in the Hillen era?

No RNLAF Air Show in 2018 either. First option for the next one is 2019!
