Scramble Messageboard

Some Infos regarding NTM 2024: Czech AF with Gripen ist already confirmed and also 335.Mira and 192.Filo will take part. Due to different reasons (security issues etc.) no F-35 units will take part, so no 313.Sqn. 21.Gruppo AMI and French Rafale (presumably 11F) will take part and also 4F with E-2C....

The next delivery of F-35 will be in the third quarter of 2024 as the earliest. Because of this it is possible that some of the six aircrafts (L-001 to 006) used for training at Luke will relocate to Skrydstrup. To make up the gap some further USAF F-35 can be used in Arizona as an interim measure.

A good question, but F-16AM all should be used in anger and have more internal fuel, to fight against the Russians.

A400M 54+21 will return to LTG 62 in the next days from Airbus Hannover, after maintenance. It is still in it’s „Air Defender 2023“ colours.

54+44 departed some time ago to the USA for intensive tests of the new drogue air-to-air refueling unit. It will not return until late-January.

To bring back THRgt 10’s Kommandeur NH90NTH 79+35 landed after noon.

As Kommodore Oberst Christian John will leave the wing shortly he made his last flight as LTG 62´s Commanding Officer in a A400M on 9.1. Oberst Markus Knoll will take over command ot the wing. In the morning of 10.1. for the change of command ceremony the following aircrafts arrived obviously with t...

Obviously two Belgian AF F-16BM will also arrive at Skrydstrup in the not too distant future. Together with the two Norwegian F-16BM (689 should be one of them) they will unfortunately used only for ground training, not flying training!

Some fact already written about many months ago will now obviously become true as two Norwegian AF F-16 (presumably BM) will fly to the Danish fighter base to train Ukrainian pilots. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/norway-sends-2-fighter-jets-denmark-ukraine-training-mission-2024-01-03/?fbclid=...

The first five ordered P-8A Poseidon (three more will follow later) will be delivered to MFG 3 from October 2024 until February 2025. Only two P-3C Orion will fly until late-2025. Most probably this should be 60+04 and 60+08. https://www.hartpunkt.de/marine-will-zwei-p-3c-orion-bis-ende-2025-betreib...

For the future, after all 53 A400M will be delivered 20.000 hours should be flown in one year.
