Cambrai was home of two Mirage 2000 squadrons. It was closed spring 2012. The airbase was a phantom of the wartime airbase, remains of which can still can be found outside the base.
The airfield has east-west runway with the majority of the activity takes place on the south side. Two shelter areas are used, the largest is in the southeast corner. The flightline is halfway down the runway on the south side and visitors are parked there too.
At the airshow, most of the ramp area around the hangars is accessible, along the flightline and the taxiway towards the aforementioned shelter area.
Take the A2/E19 from Belgium to Paris. Take exit Cambrai/Hordain (exit 15) and follow the N30 towards Cambrai. When you reach Cambrai, take the N43 to Douai. The airbase is on your left hand side a few kilometres on the N43.
Excellent pictures can be taken at spot 2 at Cambrai. The police will however not always agree.. (Pieter Taris)
Spot 3 is ok, but you need some extra millimetres. (Pieter Taris)
