Forum rules
ImageThis 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.

Le Bourget & Villacoublay 19 March 2011

Post by Niek »

Today a summit was held in Paris to discuss the No Fly Zone above Libya. For this meeting delegations from Europe, the US, Africa and the Middle East were expected.
For these kind of events Le Bourget is usually the place to be. However, during the day I found out that Villacoublay was also receiving visitors. This made me decide to also go there, since you can only catch them upon landing. The planes at Le Bourget can usually also be pictured on the platform or taxitracks.

Rather "shadowy kite" or what? No markings at all...

That's how most French Falcons operate nowadays, only the civilian registration in grey under the wings and on the tail.
