On the 28th, I saw some GA aircraft parked on the civil apron.
I saw a Gulfstream, a Ce-560 and some more. Are those all civil, or are there any military between them as well?

Best regards Rob

Hi,
Clearly they must have moved around later but pretty much throughout Wednesday 27th, the two AS330s west of the main flying ramp (in the same line as Chinook CN-ALJ) are confirmed (and from photos) as CN-ARG : 07 and CN-ARJ : code not noted. On the flying ramp was CN-ARZ in the same line as the Gendarmerie AS355, AS555 and SA365.

Also worth noting on the GA ramp behind the Belgian Falcon CM-02 was the Gendarmerie Be 350 CN-TWY (c/n FL-494 ex CN-ANJ).

As we got stuck in the terminal during the very short display on Wednesday, we would appreciate the serials / codes on Al Fursan, Freece Tricolori and Aquila for completeness. We saw them finishing displays when we finally got outside. The heat haze ran against us when we got closer at the grandstand. Big ask but looks like they were graphed anyway. Many thanks.

Out of curiosity. Was there any fighter jet flyby on Friday? And did the F-5's and Mirage F1's fly at all? I was there Thursday but besides Al Fursan, Marche Verte, CN235 paradrop and a CH-47 flyby nothing much happened. So didnt bother to go again on Friday.

CN-ARG/07 moved from the apron at the end of the day on Thursday
CN-ARJ/10 left on Thursday afternoon I believe.

Any info on the UAE Bell 206 serial 2889 on static?

The UAE Bell 407GX 2889 was in static until Friday. Saturday morning it was loaded into the UAE C-17 1228 which departed 1204lt.

Evening maf,

CN-TWY (cn FL-494)

Thanks for pointing that out. My database was clearly incorrect, however 'TWY seen and still have another to see.
