[pal01]

I am unable to attend the Spottersdays but am thinking of attending the arrivals day on Monday 9th May. Can anyone advise if the French will be as good as the Dutch were at Volkel last year by providing excellant parking facilities or will they trying to move people on? Early I know but if anyone can supply arrival details that would be great!! There is a provisional list here: http://www.spottingzone.com/forum/2011- ... 11595.html
but obviously subject to change! Apologies if this is in the wrong topic for NTM 2011!!

Your link doesn't say the Indian Mirages are confirmed and the US KC-135 doesn't seem to be confirmed yet either.

[r.e.hendriks]

Sure looks great! Lets just wait and see...

Only the Indian Mirage 2000s would be well worth the ride to Cambrai.

Best regards Rob.

Hello to all,

Looking to possibly fly over to see the Tiger Meet. Can anyone tell me if Cambrai has any good spotting areas that the public will be allowed to take pictures from?

I will not be able to attend the spotters day.

Thanks in advance

There are a few good spots, take a look at http://www.scramble.nl/airports/publish/lfqi.html

I hear strong rumours that the Carrier USS George Bush will take part in the Tiger Meet . After this Exercise it will be involved in Exercise Saxon Warrior.

[SquAdmin]

But,... which squadrons on board the Bush sport a tiger badge?

[Flyboy]

I hear strong rumours that the Carrier USS George Bush will take part in the Tiger Meet . After this Exercise it will be involved in Exercise Saxon Warrior.

I'd love to see those planes involved but: 1) Saxon Warrior takes place at this very moment (?) Are there any tiger squadrons on CAW 8?
Time wil tell I guess.

[nilsko]

VFA-213 "black Lions" have "tiger-ish" squadron insignia.

[spotter4life]

1) Saxon Warrior takes place at this very moment (?)

He said the exercise is scheduled for late April or early May
