First time Leeuwarden for me tomorrow. My visit is mainly to see the F15 eagles departing.
As we have wind from the West I assume the best spot is at Marssum side.

Anyone able to give me some hints?

Roberto, kun je mij aangeven waar ik me morgen het beste kan opstellen? Ik ben nog niet eerder op Leeuwarden geweest.

Als ik op het kaartje van scramble kijk lijkt mij de spottersplaats de beste optie.

Hoor graag van je

De enige plek om die Eagles te kunnen fotograferen is de spottersbult bij de 05, als ze tenminste een beetje leuk laag blijven tot het eind van de baan.

Dank je Roberto, fingers crosed. En aan de kop van de baan voordat ze opstijgen is dat wat?

Good afternoon,

Last week we enjoyed our holiday in the South-West part of Austria, very close to the Italian and Swiss border.
Thursday the 8th of May at 10.33 AM a group of 4 F15's were seen , heading South East. I suppose it took them about three-quarter of an hour
to get there from Leeuwarden. Therefore anyone around with the serials of the departing Eagles ? (three groups of four, as I read in earlier posts).
At 13.56 PM two other Eagles were seen as well, heading in the same direction. In the afternoon two Eagles (86-0161 & 85-0096) made a stop
at Aviano, so I assume these two are the ones for me. But any help with the four Eagles in the morning would be appreciated !

wkr,

They departed the 7th from Leeuwarden (which was a thursday) . You are mentioning the 8th which was a Friday.
I asume you ment to say Thursday May 7th :wink:

One sidenote. during their flight overhead Germany they changed callsigns:

FANG1-4 = USAF159
SNAKE1-4 = USAF125
RATTLER1-2 = USAF433
RATTLER3-4 = not heard
