Reims Meeting du centenaire 27/28 June

[hendriks]

Hi,

I'm looking for the C-135FR flying at Saturday. I read on this forum 474/93-CE. But pictures on this forum show 574/93-CE.

And the KC-135 on Saturday,was that the 60-0328.

Thanks for helping

Hi Rob

are you sure about your Mirage F.1 654 and 650 on the static??

@ Jappie:

He meant these two were flying with the PdF Alpha Jet!!!
So they weren't at the static.

Hey!

@ Arie,
C135F saturday 474/93-CE....tailsection is about all I could pic well
KC135R saturday definitely 60-0328/D and not 60-0238 as mentioned earlier.

General: C160 on the aeroclub apron was that the one that took off around 1745 approx? Did it come back the next day? It is R202/64-GB, toch?

Not much F1 action, slightly disappointing...


Grtz,
ICS

I was at Reims on departure day. Runway 25 was in use, so most of the participants left the field by the taxiway along the fence.
A question: at approx 0900 an An-12 passed overhead on a southerly course at an altitude of approx 6000 ft. Anyone for a reg?

MM7284/4-21 EF-2000 …….. Italian AF
MM7296 EF-2000 …….. Italian AF

I think these had 36 Stormo markings, even the one with the 4 Stormo code!

J-515 F-16AM 312 Sqn RNLAF

311sqn

J-641 F-16AM 312 Sqn RNLAF

but not carrying any marks

J-641 F-16AM 312 Sqn RNLAF

but not carrying any marks

Huh?? Both F-16's had 312 Sqn markings. The J-515 full colors and the J-641 toned down.

I have shots of both aircraft on static display on sunday.... both wearing 312 Sqn markings as stated above.

Best regards, Rob.

J-515 is a 311sqn aircraft, J-641 a 312sqn aircraft. The latter didn´t have any markings when it arrived at Reims on friday. Probably the 312 markings were applied by an overeager Bonzo crew.

That...may be.

All I know is that both aircraft had 312 markings when I saw then on sunday.

Best regards, Rob.

obviously, Bonzo crew went to Reims equipped with a bunch of stickers.. and not only the small ones.. Looks like they stuck large coloured ones on J-515 and removed them before the return flight. That might save them a lot of explaining upon return to Volkel (provided the stickers would have survived the flight). However, does anyone know if the toned-down markings as seen on J-641 also exist as sticker?

Haha, that is funny. Now which is the correct unit and what to use in your database....

there are no fixed squadrons. if a 313 pilot is flying the a/c it belonged to 313 sqn. if the same day a 312 pilot is flying it belonged to 312. doesn't matter what is shown on the a/c
