Req: How to see a C-160G Gabriel in Metz-Frescaty?

Post by USAFE »

Hi Forum,

I have never seen a C-160G Gabriel live. So I´ve been to Metz a couple times.
I found some nice spots, but unfortunately I saw no C-160G. :(

Who knows the best arrival / departure times for this rare bird?

Are they flying "local" missions or are they used worldwide?

Looking forward to read your suggestions. :)

Cheers

While driving along the Rue de l'Aerogare (east side) in 2008 I saw one of these rare birds depart, late in the afternoon.

Too bad this nearby, ancient base is going to close. Maybe better luck at Evreux?
