[MilCom] Second flight of Netherlands Air Force F-16s lands

Thu Apr 17 18:41:01 2003

     NAF 86, the second flight of Netherlands Air Force F-16s, a flight of 
four that we have been awaiting, has just landed at Melbourne IAP (6:25pm 
EDT).  They used 261.3 for air-air; that is also the boom freq for their 
tanker.  But they chose VHF ATC freqs all the way, and landed using 
Melbourne's 118.2 tower freq.  This is the same procedure used by the flight 
of five that landed yesterday.
     I heard NAF 49, their KDC-10 tanker depart Melbourne IAP yesterday 
afternoon, evidently to stage somewhere and await this second flight.
