In 2014 and 2015 a second beamline, FLASH2, has been commissioned in parallel to user operation at FLASH1. FLASH produces bunch trains of up to 800 bunches in 0.8 ms with a train repetition rate of 10 Hz. Each train can be split in sub-trains for FLASH1 and FLASH2, such that both beamlines receive bursts of bunches with full 10 Hz. Operational highlights are the latest SASE energy record of 600 uJ at 15 nm in FLASH2, and the first simultaneous SASE lasing of three undulator systems: FLASH1 (13.7 nm), sFLASH (38 nm), and FLASH2 (20 nm). sFLASH is the seeding experiment in the FLASH1 beamline. Moreover we will report on recent technical and operational improvements. A major success is the improved reliability and stability of the whole facility with shorter SASE tuning times.
