As could be expected from an open house at a storage base, most aircraft on the static were pulled from the storage hangars. The base put some effort in this as they selected mostly aircraft in special markings and colours.

This hangar was between that of CANOPEE and the preserved Noratlas. The aircraft could be seen through gapes and holes in the hangar doors. The Mirage 2000 in the right side could be seen from the left side. There were also off limit hangars near the flight lines, these contained amongst others Mirage F1CR 642/118-CG, Mirage 2000N 362/125-CU and TB-30 116/F-SEYG. Another hangar had SA330Bs 1257/AA and 1326/AI.

The main attraction of the base were the aircraft in (outside) storage on the other side of the runway. A large number of them are parked on the old German runway. These aircraft here will not return to service and most are missing a number of parts which could include wings, tails and landing gears. Not all have their normal serials presentation any more due to missing bits. These have been replaced by sprayed on serial, mostly in red. Not all serials were reported/logged during the open day, these are marked with #. Serials of these aircraft are obtained from pictures of several base visits earlier in 2013, where their status, position and serial/codes were confirmed. There were basically three rows of aircraft.
