The above is correct

Do you have a source for all of this? As I could not find any conclusive source confirming this (how much I do would believe it).

Thanks for the confirmation!

At this time 83 helicopters are present at Zeebrugge. I doubt that you can see much from outside, as there is a container wall all around the helicopter area. I was there on the 13th of July and took al lot of photos from three vantage points. All Chinooks can be read from photo, as well as two Bla...

if it was 159779, than that one was scrapped in 2005 according to Scramble. The mystery continious.

That one particpated in the first week of this years Tigermeet and departed the monday of the second week.

Although Joe was usualy right, this aircraft definately was a A-4N (with extended tail pipe like the IDF/AF retrofitted). I assume the IDF/AF did not gain this aircraft after it's operational life at Willow Grove, as I assume by then all A-4's already got delivered.

A few remarks and questions from my end as well. The A-4N is confirmed as s/n is 14478. This appears to be former 159806, which was transfered to the IDF/AF. However, IDF/AF A-4N 329 is listed as 159806 with s/n 14505!? Anyone able to shed some light on this? Furthermore I noted the Vampire arrive, ...

For me, the Rafale 4-FG B340 and 4-FP B349 are located at the same place for the QRA (west side of the base). Correct, the 4-HC B310 was put in QRA configuration for the Bastille Day parade (3 supersonic fuel tanks). I saw him again yesterday in training configuration (1 supersonic fuel tank). Than...

Is Apache 17-03177 still at Koksijde? We counted 23 Apaches in Zeebrugge on July-13th. Also all 12 Chinooks could be read off. The Blackhawks are a pain though, still working out my photos.

I noted you have 3 different QRA aircraft over 3 days. Do you know which flew from the 2 boxes on the west side of the base? We noted 2 in those during the GRAS visit on the 9th. 310 was not QRA then, as it flew regular training that day.

Also, are you

So the last questionmark is which Rafale is correct? 330 4-IE or (337) 4-IL? It's 330 4-IE, the 337 4-IL took-off this morning with the Rafale Solo Display C146 4-GY to Barcares. I concur after rechecking the photo. I took the pic from behind and part of the E was behind the intake. Also the 0 is r...

Noted during a brief visit at the 35F det. was the following;

SA.365N 24 35F det.

This one is due to leave tomorrow for 12.000hr inspection/maintenance and will be replaced by SA.365N 91 by now (arriving from the defilé after a fuel stop). Unfortunately we could wait for it's delayed arrival.

if anyone can confirm or correct please?

If they were together with A.330MRTT 069/F-UJCR, those were (337)/4-IL & (335)/4-IJ from my camera. Serials match the codes from last tuesday's visit at St.Dizier.

Rafale 344 should be 4-FK.

Rafale 138 should be 30-GQ not GO.

The missing Rafale B out of the 4 ship looks like 4-FI (SAL28 badge) on my camera. If so this is 342 (noted by me during GRAS visit at St.Dizier last Tuesday).

The missing Mirage 2000D are 3-IO and 3-JM.

Thanks for kicking this off. Also Fennecs VV (photoproof) and VH (Cosak13 per adsb) were flying around.
