Cognac-Châteaubernard LFBG 2024

Post by Starman »

Many of the based 709F* PC-21s were noted in the last couple of days; FC, FD, FE, FF, FG, FI (didn't fly), FL, FM, FN, FO, FQ & FS, but no (709)G*s, are they even based here? King Air 1030 took off around 08.30 each morning, with a 2nd example sitting outside (nose on to the flying club). Maybe these are temp-based?

I think you may have been a bit unlucky with your PC-21s as it appears [from looking at ADSB tracks] that almost all of the 709-Gx PC-21s were away in Solenzara during your visit and only routed back on 15/03/2024 via Istres.

709-GA/B/D/E/F/H/I were all involved

709-GG has not tracked since 12/2023 while 709-GC las tracked 28/02/2024 [both around LFBG]
