Dijon-Longvic (LFSD) - 2012 MIL

Post by zerofive »

Good morning,
the second week I'll be near Dijon. Someone tell me if the base is still operational?
what you can photograph?
and if the police is a problem?

Tancs,
Simon

Only A-Jets are active. When the Saudi Eagles were there a few years ago the gendarmerie was present, but were no hassle. Don't know if that was because the large influx of spotters made sending away people just to complicated, but you never know. ;-)

No, the last squadron equiped with Mirage 2000, the "EC 1/2 Cigognes" left Dijon for Luxeuil air Base in july 2011.
The are now only A-jets and TBM700 based in Dijon.
