Enfidha, Tunesia Air Show

Post by CJ »

A relatively low-key tradeshow / airshow. But definitely better than the first edition, which was held at Djerba Airport, early 2020.

On static display at the VIP terminal on the opening day October 12 were:

TS-DMM Pa34-220 Ecole de l’Aviation Borj el Amri *
21533 / ‘3’ C-130H-3 Wyoming ANG
10276 KC-135R Nebraska ANG (was supposed to drag 2 x SP F-16, but cancelled)

The opening flypast, along the runway, started earlier than I the programme suggested, so I missed the first 2 L-59Ts..

L81507 / TS-VTE OH-58D
L81516 / TS-VTN OH-58D

Paras were dropped from L81711 / 4478 AB205A
Finally 2 Garde Nationale Bell 429s did a mini-demo in front of the dignitaries:
G81 102 / TS-QGB (later put on static display; dataplate states MSN as 57294)
