  The free-electron laser in Hamburg (FLASH) is a high brilliance XUV and soft X-ray SASE FEL user-facility at DESY. FLASH’s superconducting linac can accelerate several thousand electron bunches per second in 10 Hz bursts of up to 800 µs length. The long bunch trains can be split in two parts and shared between two undulator beamlines. During 2020, FLASH supplied, in standard operation, up to 500 bunches at 10 Hz in two bunch trains with independent fill patterns and compression schemes. The FLASH2 undulator beamline comprises variable gap undulators that allow different novel lasing schemes. A third beamline accommodates the FLASHForward plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. We report on the FLASH operation in 2019 - 2021 and present a few highlights.
