F-35B is geen tweezitter, maar de V/STOL variant

It is beginning to look more and more like an F-35-only exercise... in a few years time, when the Danish, Finnish and German AF add their F-35's it will be even more so...
....meaning even the noise levels will result in more of the same...........
It could be worse: FF with drones only, consider that?!.....

Today I received intel that - apparently - the following could be expected to participate;
RNLAF F-35 12 + spare
RNLAF F-16 4 + spare
BAF F-16 8
GAF EF2000 8
RDAF F-16 4
FINAF F-18 3
ITAF F-35 5
US F-35 4
UK Navy F-35B 4 (week 2)
Whereas ITAF appears to be a little unclear as they have a deployment to Laage as well during that same period......
Will they all operate from Leeuwarden?

Is that a estimated guess or do you have a source that confirms that?

Dus een drone is dan hetzelfde als een US KC-135, is dat wat je wil zeggen? /hides

Eart 2023 is simultane with FF but is flying from Spain. (Homepage eatc as source).
Or Eart from Spain and enough tankers at Eindhoven and Frankfurt for the assist on FF 2023?
Kind regards,
Stafsels
Plenty of tankers left in the area for support at EHEH and Koln + KC135 from Mildenhall and A-400 from Wunstorf
We will just have to wait and see what will participate
