Identity of ''COTAM43'' at Orange/LFMO 3rd aug 2012?

[Polecat]

On behalf of a friend of mine: Seen today at Orange was Da-900 c/s ''COTAM43''. Anyone for the identity of this bird?

2/F-RAFP seems likely,hopefully confirmation in the coming days.

Well, the lucky bastard says thanks to all for their help in filling this gap in my log for today!

When I am back, I will publice a full log from my days at Orange. To bad I missed the 4 AMI EF2000's that came in last wednesday due to a broken car.

CTM43(or CTM0043) is still NOT confirmed at this time.

Logged CTM1280 yesterday (August 3rd) on Athens ATC, this showed as Falcon 900 02 FAF, so could this be the 2/F-RAFP instead?

[Le Addeur noir]

2 candidates,numbers 2(F-RAFP) or 4 (F-RAFQ).

Falcon 900 Number 2 was on Antonakis over Censeau,France at 06.31Z(08.31 LT).

These are/were due to be replaced by the new Falcon 7Xs.

... the 4 AMI EF2000's that came in last wednesday ...

To be exact they came in Tuesday 31-7 just after noon, did some aircombat against 4 Mirages on Wednesday and left Thursday 2-8 at 10.15am.

I also saw the Falcon but it seemed to have no serial ...

Gents,

Concerning the identity of the Da900, I checked photo's on Airliners.net of both Da900 still in the inventory of the French AF. I noticed that 2/F-RAFP has an all white c/s with no outer markings and 4/RAFQ wears titles and a bl/wh/rd cheatline.
The Da900 that CBR and I saw landing on August, 3 had titles and the named cheatline. That would make it 4/F-RAFQ.

Can anyone confirm my assumption?

Erik
