Thanks! So the upcoming 5 weeks FWIT missions from Leeuwarden. Weeknumbers 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37. Hope to visit Leeuwarden in one of these weeks.

Hi, according to some logs I read the following participants for FWIT are present at Leeuwarden. FWIT Orbat as of 12-8-2017. Belgium 07-08-2017 F-16AM BAF FA-56 07-08-2017 F-16AM BAF FA-72 07-08-2017 F-16AM BAF FA-89 07-08-2017 F-16AM BAF FA-118 Danmark 09-08-2017 F-16AM RDAF E-610 11-08-2017 F-16AM...

By the way my weatherforcast-sites predict westernwinds so RWY26. Is that situation better ... ? Runway shots with 26 in use; takeoff for F-16's, Hawks and Eufi's are OK as they just are off the ground. More difficult for the Phantoms and Migs. The height of the gras, if not cut, will be obstructio...

Does not seem like a great place for photography then ... or am I wrong? It all depends how photo minded the TWM organisation is. If they let the aircraft taxi along the spotters (like on other spottersdays in the past) it will be OK, I think. But I do not know if this will be the case this year. R...

So currently no use for a stepledder at Florennes? Or still needed to shoot landing shots like above over the fence? Sorry haven't been there in a loooong time.. :-) Thanks in advance guys! I advise to take a stepledder when you want to take pictures from outside the base if runway 26 is in use. It...

A question for spotters with previous experiences ... If I look at this map https://www.dropbox.com/s/46gebobv4owmd ... 7.jpg?dl=0 am I right about the following? Taxiway with backlight, so only sun behind you, facing the runway? Distance to the runway aprox. 200m? And the place near the runway see...

Good evening A question does anybody no how high the gras is in the spotters area. I saw some pictures on facebook with really high gras in front off the airplanes you can't see wheels any more. A couple off years ago it was the same way. Way to high gras for good quality pictures on the runway. Th...

According to FB of 1sq Stingers: For the 15th (spottersday) some Mirage 2000's, also some Alpha Jets, some F-16's and some surprise visitors.... are expected

Pictures like this will be hard to make at Florennes. But how are the photoconditions nowadays at EBFS at the taxitrack with western winds? Is it possible to take pictures of a/c with entire landing gear visible or is the high grass preventing this? Today the taxi track leading towards runway 26 wa...

Morning both hawks airborne, two Mig-29 and all 3 italian Eufi's. No sign of the other expected participants, yet. Rumour is two Greek Phantoms are at Aviano. Edit: 4-22 is mm7309 Migs this morning were: 56 and 89 Edit: Greek Phantoms in 01512 en 01534 Greek C130: 751 ===== Edit ===== Log read from ...

Why disappointed? In an early stage it was known just a few countries would participate for this years edition. And all the announced participants are present.

When is FWIT finished at Leeuwarden? This week?

Heard there is a spottersday on the 18th of May. With google I found this: http://www.panoravia.nl/spottersdag-wittmund-18-mei-2017/#more-767 This message does not mention anything about Austrians. So maybe the Austrians leave earlier? The date 19th of May as date the Austrians will leave was mentio...

Hi Pembroke, Google Maps helps a lot. To help you (and for all the other people reading and have the same question as Pembroke :) ) The information below is from 2014, the last time I visited Wittmund. That time the locals flew poorly. Westside of the base. Park your car at "am Fluplatz". Not to clo...
