French Air Force near the slopes !!
Hello,
Today 4 little aircraft were very close to the slopes at Gilze-Rijen.
Someone told me they were French.
One aircraft had special colours, because Ans had here birthday, she became 30 years old (maybe the pilot's wife?).
I've made some pictures with my telephone, I hope that you'll like them.
Greetings,
Antoine

Re: French Air Force near the slopes !!
For someones birthday they don't paint a whole tale of a plane, I think . I guess the Alpha Jets were introduced or something for the French Air Force in 1979
regards Yorick
edit: they came operational for the French Air Force in 1979 (I looked it up for you)

Re: French Air Force near the slopes !!
for your telephone Antoine!!! I really need to buy a new I see, especially now its a good temporarily replacement while my KonicaM is in repair...
Great pics, sometimes they look a bit oversharpened but overall: nice! (Especially when one thinks of you equipment )
Nice head-on shot, looks great with the heat haze and the lights!
I still get a bit annoyed when I see other's pics of an Apache at the slopes, coz I havent seen one yet there, but French A-jets!!!
Greets and Happy Spotting!!
Enjoy it haha

I would say it is in fact our Tante/Aunt Jet!! As you can read on the otherside of tail! So as we got to know, with thanks to 'vuurwerkreeshof', that makes: 30 ans (meaning 30 years) - @ (meaning to) Jet! That should be the reason they were at Gils.Maarten wrote:One aircraft had special colours, because Ans had here birthday,she became 30 years old (maybe the pilot's wife?)

I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.
