No Fennecs? At the webcam of the airport there’s one camouflaged Fennec visible, parked next to a noble command post.

Sjoerd, 6 RHC does not exist anymore.
AS.555UNs are from EALAT and EC.120Bs from Helidax.

Thanks for your input Adrian! I took them from the Scramble database/orbat but they are also listed as such on the official programm published by the French MoD. So you are certain that Helidax is no longer under 6 RHC? And the AS.555UN should be under 2 RHC/EALAT indeed.

Sjoerd, your yellow Piper was F-PASD, which flew early evening from Chartres. I am afraid it has no military history though, looks like a homebuilt example.
