Anyone who knows what departure base or bases will be used? Evreux was used in the past for many of the fast jets, but is it going to be used again? And if so, will it be the staging post for all or most of the fast jets? And do the aircraft return to their home bases after the fly past?
I am thinking of paying a visit to Evreux on the 14th, but I am in a serious doubt whether the 13th might not a better option. Or not going at all if just the A400M will return here...

Evreux for the jets and transports, Creil for the ALAT and Marine helicopters, Villacoublay for the AdlA Helicopters.
No refueling at the Héliport de Paris and static at Les Invalides this year due to budget cuts I heared.
Most of the fighters will directly fly home after the flightpast, no recovery at Evreux.

This is what I heared, don't shoot the messenger

The Fennec is 100% certain WD!
The Caracal is very hard to decipher but after playing around with my contrast and lighting settings I'm pretty sure it is SC.

Other than that I agree with all other notes and additions by Paul.
