Today around 10 o'clock the Polish MiG29s landed. They are leaving TLP and continueing homebound via Neuburg. 1 Casa will accompany them, but has not yet landed. (the other casa will go straight to Neuburg and the herc will go straight to Poland).
Next week the unit will deploy 15-20 locals for gunnery camp, so might be bit quiet....

Oscar,
Are you sure they are from Orange? Scramble SIS mentions they are Luxeuil based a/c.
I believe the info came from Orange PA. It doesn't rule out the possibility that M2000's from Luxeuil will be leaving for gunnery practice as well (although it could get crowded at Solenzara).
I was there last sunday during the departure of the 17 (of originally 19 scheduled) Mirage 2000B/Cs. I was surprised that they departed on 1e Pinksterdag/Pentecost (public holiday) although I had this information of their departure in advance.
Departing in order to Solenzara (minimal 2 weeks) shooting camp were:
Three visits on July 25, August 3 and August 8 gave the uppertunity to spot 18 different Mirages, all flying. The score was as follows (date noted between brackets):
The number of Mirage 2000C's in the colours of EC01.012 and wearing the BA103-code of Cambrai are now rapidly winding down. Noted changes in colours and codes are transferred to the fleetlist on top of this thread.
