I was looking for the same info, i doubt if there's any airshow at all.
Not a single French team has a display scheduled for this base, googling in French on this subject also only came up with a link to the Scramble site.
So i think you can save yourself a wasted journey.

I wouldn't call that a joke . Just two words given as explanation: "Operation Harmattan"..Tigerspoon wrote:It's a joke isn't it?!!?USAFE wrote:Just returned. Unfortunately no C-160G...
I have AS.555 VG as 5399 instead of 5999, a typo? Furthermore I wrote down the Alpha Jet as coded 705-MI. No picture to confirm though, so could be wrong.A short log from today, was there 1500-1600lt:
5361 UT AS555AN
5393 VC AS555AN
5999 VG AS555AN spec c/s

The Gendarmerie EC.135T2+ has c/n 0797. Also noted were:
105/62-SI N.2501F (F-AZVM)
53802 Harvard (F-AZCM)
1125 SV.4A (F-BDHC)
117/XN TBM-700 (visiting in the early afternoon)
Furthermore still preserved on base is F-84F 28879/9-AU, looking splendid. Also seen were preserved F-100 42131/11-MP, N.2501 (41, far side) and stored N.262 (95, also far side). Access to the N.262 was denied, however it is used as a fire training aid together with a Fouga Magister (should be 407). H-34 SA170, that used to be preserved here, has aleady made the move to Orange, where the choppers will be based after the closure of Metz.
*EDIT* I just saw a picture in the Photoforum of the Alpha Jet, and it was coded MH on the right hand side. I wrote down the code on the left hand side, but I would expect those to be the same.... So probably a mistake from my side
