Short stop at the field. Nothing on the ramp but PC-21 from Emmen came over the field.
PC-21: A-107

Ghedi AB 25-09-2024 between 8.30 – 12.00
There was an event here in honor of 50 years of Tornado in Italian service. Tried to access it via the official site. But my request was rejected without reason. It seemed like a party for Italians only. No reason was given for the rejection at the gate. That's why he stood outside the field.

Tornado IDS: 6 Stormo MM7067/6-41 special colors 50years Tornado
Tornado ECR: 6 Stormo MM7052/6-64
Tornado ECR: 6 Stormo MM7047/6-61

F-35A: 6 Stormo MM7370/6-05

There was more but this is only what I saw.
6 Tornadoes were stored on the east side of the field. But I didn't have a ladder with me to read them. Because I was on my bike.

I looked a few times but not much happened on this field. Helicopters flew poorly and there was no deployment of other units when I was there. Fantastic field with excellent photographic opportunities and a fantastic backdrop of the mountains

Alpha Jet E: DGA-EV E80

Near Orange is the village of Voiles where we camped. I think this is a training area because 2 Alpha Jets came here to practice loops and rolls. It looked like they were training for Patrouille de France. After their training they flew towards Salon de Provence. 2 days later it happened again. Then 1 Alpha Jet in Patrouille de France colours.
