AB  - FLASH, the free-electron laser user facility at DESY (Hamburg, Germany), delivers since 2005 high brilliance XUV and soft X-ray FEL radiation for photon experiments. FLASH is based on a superconducting electron accelerator able to deliver several thousand pulses per second. The burst mode of operation is especially demanding for the electron injector: a warm RF-gun with a high duty cycle is in operation to produce the bursts of electron bunches with small emittance required to drive the SASE process. We report the status of the FLASH facility, and discuss operational experiences in view of reliability, stability in electron and photon beam performance.
