Based on the radio (231.775) last Monday morning two Mirages 2000 took of around 9:30. Five minutes later jetnoise could be heard at my campsite near Ruoms (Ardeche). Amazingly the Mirage 2000s started to practice a dogfight immediately west of Ruoms, right above me. This lasted for 20 minutes and i...

This Friday morning only two Mirage 2000Bs flew a training mission: 115-OR and 115-OL took off at 9:30 and returned two (!) hours later. In the mean time several Fennec helicopters flew from and to the field. A bit off topic: at least four water bombers were active in the mountains west of Orange / ...

The C295 will most probably be Gando's "own" 35-43.

Last year around this time 2 Mirages 2000C flew every mo-fr between 10-12h and c. 14-18h from Orange. Here you also have the chance to see a 2000B training approaches.

It was the "02" (80002) from Pápa.

Nice!

De helicoptes kwamen in een 'zwerm' van acht stuks laag over Voorschoten, op weg naar Den Haag. Indrukwekkend gezicht. Daarna Beech + Catalina + Harvard. Vervolgens B25 + Spitfire. Als afsluiting kwam de veel snellere Hawker Hunter. Deze vloog bij Voorschoten nog een heel stuk achter de rest aan maa...
