COLMAR, May 6th - Compared to the day before, this was a dissapointing day for numbers, at least some made multiple sorties. The good thing was that most of the action happened while the sun was in a good position for pictures. The base gendarmerie payed me a courtesy visit, checked my passport and camera, shook hands and left me in peace.

thanks for the report; can you give any hint, if these aircraft were flying and how many hours were needed in order to get these nowadays rare aircraft together?

[B727]

We stayed there from 9.30 to 16.30.! 518 flew one mission, the other 4 Mirages flew two missions!
