On both sides no problem to take pics. The best to take no pics from buildings. Perhaps the police check your passport.

Cool! Do you know if the Saudi transport planes have left or do they stay also?

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the log from yesterday.
Just curious, how did you manage the serial of the puma?
We where there also but the puma was very, very high.
Regards Steve.

This puma has also been seen last month at the Phalsbourg airshow. Code and serial are correct!

Puma was read of with the 40x60 spottingscope. And confirmed on picture by another Team from Volkel.

The spottingfacilities are great here. It's a shame that this base is closing down very soon.

The Gendarmerie AS.350 was red off by the same Volkel team as JCF.

Dijon will not close, only the flying aircraft will disappear
It remain open a a diversion base, just like Orange.

It came to my mind as a very strange coincidence
-Saoudi F-15s in Europe (Dijon)
-Israeli F-15s in Europe (Deci)
all in the same timeframe
Is there a change that they will meet for a (mock) dogfight overhead the Mediterranean Sea these 2 weeks

I do not see anything else than a coincidence. I would rule out the possibility of any mock dog fight. Why should they dogfight with each other, they are potential enemies, remember? They are guests in different countries and some distance apart.

Very happy to read and to hear that the Gendarmerie is co-operative and friendly. Hope we are able to keep it this way!

You're right Joris,
Alphajets of 5/2 and Mirages 2000-5 of 1/2 could be transferred to Luxeuil from 2011.
