This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

I am not so sure. Probably Ex EC5/330, not repainted yet with 112 code (and maybe it won't, it's only a few months to go anyway). Each time I see an 118 coded bird at Reims (clean, flying local missions) and report to Scramble, they comment on it as being a visitor. However, the CEAM does not operate F1's anymore since quite a while and I don't think a visitor from MdM will fly in clean configuration. These birds are definetely part of ER2/33. Most (=3?) have been painted over immediately, but once or twice we caught one as a spare for a 112-coded Mirage that went tech. If you are even luckier, you catch one in old markings arriving from Chateaudun to be swapped.One of the F1CR already wears the code numbre of Mont de Marsan (118) where the recce birds are to deploy...
Guess that one belongs to the CEAM
I noted 615 118/MZ already at 24 june 2010 at Reims!!!!Trabanti wrote:I am not so sure. Probably Ex EC5/330, not repainted yet with 112 code (and maybe it won't, it's only a few months to go anyway).

Nevertheless - go get 'em while you can! Great plane, great base, great city.
