I,m thinking about joining the rehearsals for this year's celebration.
I understand that this is at Chateaudun. Does anybody know how often, and on what days they did this in the previous years? And any other Intel on photography on Chateadun those days.
Furthermore what bases are used? I see Villacoublay for helicopters and Evreux for others. Is that only air force or also Sec Civile, Navy and Army.
High on my list are C160 Gabriel. Fokker100 DGA, Navy Fa50 and Army Pc6.

It seems no Dutch F-16 although there is space next to the Belgium Viper.

Some small changes here.
Now a Dutch F-16 and no Danish one. Also one German NH-90 less but 2 French more it seems.

We will see in couple of days.

[Richard de Florennes]

does anybody know if ALAT helicopters will operate from Creil again, like they did in previous years (even after the airfield was officially closed)?
