My first thought: "holy macaroni, this could be good!"
My second thought: "holy macaroni, there's going to be a lot of protesters to negotiate around"
My third thought: "holy macaroni, the whole area surrounding the base is going to be off limits to the public"

Was there any protests when they attended RAF Waddington, did they not Display at the Airshow without any incidents. That was an open base Airshow, Conningsby is a closed active base, i doubt it that anything will kick off.
If the surrounding car parks are full of spotters etc, joe treehugger protester, will have a hard time getting near the fence.

The world is a very different place since 2001, not least because of social media's ability to magnify things.

Why?
Or are you advocating violence in order to prevent people legitimately protesting?
After all, the UN, Amnesty International and other international organisations have found Israel guilty of illegal activities on a number of occasions.
Oh, and you seem to be confused between people who disagree with the actions of Israel and 'treehuggers' who are environmental protesters.

He must have forgotten that 'treehuggers' ride bikes, so don't need to use car parks.

Hopefully they won't send boring grey F35s but will bring some tasty F15s and F16s ?

I think the question is why do people bother looking on UKAR any more?...
You caaan't trust the system... Maaan!
Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
I've no idea whether anyone would want to protest or not, but if they do, I doubt they'll wait until mid morning on the first day of flying and find a lack of parking spaces sufficient to make them take their banners home.
Protesters or not, if the IAF appear in F-15s or F-16s I imagine anyone who wants to get a vantage point nearer than Skegness had better set off about now.

Didn't they (the F-16As any way) start off life grey?

If it goes ahead, then the place is going to be absolutely rammed - every man and his dog (not forgetting the wife and kids and all the other bl**dy idiots)

Not that I'm aware of. The first four were reportedly delivered in the standard Israeli sand/brown/green camo. They did receive 50 ex USAF F-16s in the standard USAF grey scheme after the 1991 Gulf War which were subsequently repainted. But as far as I'm aware no Israeli F-16 has gone grey, just the other way round.
Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
Peace Marble IV F-16A Block 10s wore grey for quite a while before being repainted.
