Sound logical, they were expected at Red Flag 09-1 (10/20/2008 - 10/31/2008) but they cancelled, maybe because they have to participate in this excercise.

Can you confirm this? apparently they cancelled their scheduled deployment to Iraq too, maybe due to their conversion to CCIP Vipers is taken a longer time.

Seems to be a wrong answer as there are most likely AV's coming.

Cambrai and Reims have been sufficiently covered. Have some F1CR from 14/10 and unread CN235 (departing round 0900) and unread Tigre landing at 1100) We went on to St Dizier 15/10, but the base was very very quiet. So we went on to Nancy. This was seen between 1530 and 1700:
Mirage 2000D 604/3-IP
Mirage 2000D 628/3-JL
Mirage 2000D 675/3-JI

Mirage 2000N 312/4-CN
Mirage 2000N 365/4-AI
Mirage 2000N 369/4-AG

Patrick,

Voor de 50-52 MM7051 zelf gelezen ?

De staart was er vuil bij het serial en dacht zelf MM7081 met een ? , iets was meer in lijn zou zijn met de l/n van de kist/code.

MVG,

Otger
