Meeting Aerien Pau 6/7 june 2009

[Lex]

Seen on thursday 04-06-09 on arrival with our Ryanair flight here were;

EC-120's of Ala 78
(HE.25-5)/78-24, (HE.25-8)/78-27, (HE.25-9)/78-28, (HE.25-12)/78-31, (HE.25-13)/78-32, (HE.25-15)/78-34.

As we left in our car we saw a EC-725 (arr 12:45) and C-160 (arr 12:30) arriving. Anyone got a serial for these???

A log of this airshow will follow.

[Lex]

Here a very quick and dirty log as we had to get our flight home.
We arrived at 09:30 and as we were walking to the flightline we were asked to turn around as they wanted to close it for people. So a lot of helicopters stayed unread.
This log is far from complete but it's a start.

From pictures I can add some for the outside aircraft:

3947/BPL SA342M 5 RHC (flight line, single a/c)
3848/BPM SA342M 5 RHC (flight line, your misread code?)
3856/BPO SA342M 5 RHC (flight line)
1416/BQR SA342 (flight line)
1718/BQV SA342 (flight line)
1186/BRL SA 330B 5 RHC
1654/BRN SA 330B 5 RHC
2010/BHA Tigre HAP 5 RHC
2023/BHP Tigre HAP 5 RHC
355 is AS565MA, serial correct, from 36F though
Gazelle had code FTH

also nice was CAP231 F-GPAU, ex MorocAF 22/CN-ABM

cheers,

099/YP Xingu EAT 00.319 ==> never saw this one, where was this?

Thanks for the updates Patrick.

As i don't have my logbook here with me here one i know by head.
This one arrived at around 09:40 and was parked on the flightline near the B-17.

[Lex]

1019 Alouette II Civil as F-GIJJ ==> where did you see this one?

This one was on the flightline aswell. So near the B-17.

[patrick dirksen]

OK, somehow we never saw those unfortunately. I presume they left again rather quickly.....
Thanks anyway!

[Lex]

Don't know what time you were there but I didn't see the Xingu leave untill at least 12:30.

Where did you see the extra Gazelle (BOF) and Tigre (BHC)?

[Mike Hill]

Was the Xingu there in the Saturday? I know Patrick was there on the Sunday as I spoke to him and the Xingu definitely wasn't around, we were in fairly early on the Sunday morning and didn't see one parked near the B-17. The Alouette F-GIJJ was originally on the ramp with the display aircraft but was towed into the static during the morning, it was parked behind the Beluga with some civvy helicopters.

The Tiger BHC was on the flightline behind the Breitling team, and Gazelle BOF was with the other Gazelles on the grass at the other end of the airfield.

Hoep that helps.

Mike

[Lex]

Was the Xingu there in the Saturday?

Yes it was there on saturday.

1190

[Mike Hill]

Can anyone confirm the three EC665's in the hangar at the eastern end of the airfield on the Sunday?

I have seen a report from Saturday which mentions 2009, 2015 and 2017 as being hangared but were these the same three?

Thanks.

Mike
