Any idea regarding arrival times of the participants on monday?

Would it be possible to stand outside Cambrai AB (landing) or will there be special precautions taken by the base personel/police like road closures or prohibited parking, etc.?
I also heard that you might run into troubles while photographing landing aircraft and I do not want to drive all the way to France and sent away by the police...
Last year during NTM 2010 at Volkel it was very well organised to stand outside the base without troubles.

Does anyone have info on this?
Any kind of info is welcome.

I do not have specific information, but I would think/assume that, just because of the Tiger Meet you will not be sent away.

As far as times go; I would make sure to be there early (that's in general the best advice if you do not to miss part of the action).

Can anyone tell me how this NTM will be set up? Will we meet up at the base gate and then get taken onto the base? Will we be able to take pictures out by the runways when the planes take off and land like the NTM in Volkel??


I'm heading over this weekend from the States so I'm just curious.

Thanks
