LAVEX 2009

[Tintin]

Wow!!! Very great libyan Mirage F-1...should be one of those retrofitted by Dassault

Interestingly, the pilot on the right is sporting a Mirage F.1CR badge from French AF's ER02.033 "Savoie" ...

(rumours that the pilot on the left flies with the Netherlands -"Orange"- Air Force are unfounded )

The libyans instructors have operated french Mirage F1B at Reims during summer 2009

I see this one hasn't appeared yet, LAAF-722 in much better condition than two years ago, though still without the finishing touches.



can't resist to put this lousy quality one on the board too.

Can anyone who visited this amazing event please email me any jpeg images of the BAC 1-11s present at Mitiga please.
It would be much appreciated as I run the BAC 1-11 website and forum at Yahoo Groups. As these are no doubt going to be some of the last images of active 1-11s, I would dearly love to add them to my image archive! Four 1-11s in the same place is unlikely to happen again! Thanks must go to Tombouctou Aviation for bringing all their fleet to the event. Can anyone also confirm that one of their three 1-11s, TZ-BSB, was actually in storage at Mitiga?
If anyone has any more 1-11 images, I would be very pleased to hear from you.

Best Regards

Peter

I've send you the pictures of the TZ-BSA and TZ-BSC. Also the 5A-DKO was seen when we did the bustour around the airfield. Don't know anything about an fourth BAC1-11. Anyone else ?

[phantom]

Seen this picture at airlinefan.com: http://www.airlinefan.com/airline-photo ... 00/TZ-BSB/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; probably taken during LAVEX 2009.
This plane was not visible for us from the static part (only a couple of tails visible behind some hills).
Also not visible from the bustour around the airfield.
So there were 4 BAC1-11's present !

[Malcolm Bezzina]

Yes there were
TZ-BSA , BSB, BSC all Timbactu Aviation\Mia Airlines and

5A-DKO Libavia but never reaced the skies with 5A registration!!
Hope it helps!!
