At several positions along the fence.
First close to spot 2 (Scramble Guide) and later spot 1, close to the fence.

Pilots waving friendly, farmers waving friendly, gendarmes friendly....are we in France????

OK, just one quick shot for today...

Unfortunately the weather didn't coop today. When we arrived at the hotel, the sun came through.
Since then, sky is clear....lets hope we have this weather tomorrow.

Best regards, Rob.

Hi,

Nice picture, how big were your stairs to get over the fence?

Would love to know, since we are having some troubles how to fit in our car with ladders :)

Hello everyone
I am a new in this great forum
I'm impressed with your ability to cover the events of aviation on the particular issue of the participation of Royal Saudi Air Force and French Air Force in the ancient exercise Green Shield2 in Dijon - Longvic Air Base, France, and I loved that guide you pictures of the participants in this exercise

The air crew participating in the exercise

    Hi all,

    Just got back from Dijon.

    The log is pretty much the same as yesterday.
    Again the same 8 A'Jets and 5 Mirage 2000's and Gendarmerie AS.350.
    And again four Eagles flew 505, 510, 512 and 533.

    Visitors and extra's today (6th oct)
    F-ZBAD AS.355 Douanes arr.
    064/YY EMB.121
    E103/314-UA Alpha Jet

    ----------------------------------------

    Yesterday: four Eagles in the morning, two in the afternoon
    Today: four Eagles in the morning, four in the afternoon.

    Flying starts at 9 o'clock in the morning, second wave around 13.15lt.

    And one problems with the nice Gendarmes.

    Best regards, Rob

    We had a great 2 days, indeed no trouble there! Wished that was the case at every airbase in France.
    Concerning our earlier question, about the newly coded Army Gazelles. Having read the Military News section in the latest Scramble edition (especially the subscript with the Gazelle-picture and the updates on page 65), may I safely presume the serials are the following:

    4205/GPB and 4118/GEA ?

    According the article in the Scramble only the SA.342L1 are in running order.
    So, then 4205 would be GEA.

    However, the SA.342M are not in running order, so 4118 is just guessing.
    We just have to hope for a quick update.

    ---------------------------

    Can anyone help us with the serial of the Mirage III near the fire department??
    There's also a Mirage 2000 (with special tail) visible in between the hangars, any for the serial??

    Best regards, Rob

    Can anyone tell me how the attitude towards scanners is? Are the Gendarmes also okay on that, or is it best to leave the scanner at home?

    Of course I meant the other way around, mixed the 2 up. But you're m8, it's guessing. Hopefully someone can shine a clear light on this.

    About scanners. As we didn't have those with us, I couldn't tell for sure. But, if I do remember correctly scanners are forbidden in France. If I were you I wouldn't test things out eventhough the Gendarmes we met were very kind.
