A couple of answers for now

?? Rafale M = 5
?? E-2C = 2

F-RBAD A400M = F-RBAO

46-42? C-130J (IT) = 46+44


I haven't yet looked through the other Rafales

Cheers, David
C-130J = 46-44 MM62179.

After we had gone 94 TBM-700 departed to Fairford also.

The usual Paris was preserved at the gate, as well as the Mirage 2000N and Puma/Gazelle on the other gate. Interestingly a Falcon 20 tailless is dumped on the airfield. Possibly ex instructional?

We did not visit the centre of France ‘Invalides’ where B01 Rafale B, 03 Mirage 2000, and 297 MD450 were present. Additionally French Customers EC145 F-ZBGI and French Military Glider J38 Janus C.

Paris Le Bourget Airport;
=======
Present within the Dassault round-house were the following;
MAX Falcon 2000LX, Qatar Emiri AirForce
V5-(NAM) Falcon 900, Government of Namibia
(ST-PSA) Falcon 900, Government of Sudan

Unfortunately the Marine P180 from Italy had departed about 1 hour before ☹ We did not look for the L410 Slovak that was reported as it was not required. Additionally reported by a friend was CN-MMK Citation in the Cessna hangar which was closed when we visited.

Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport;

Do you know which Dauphin was the first one in the Heli Union hangar, if looking from the Heli Union car park? Due to reflections in the window, only the first helicopter was visible

Yes it was one of the unmarked cabs. It was certainly civil, but could have been undergoing conversion… difficult to say as the paint was stripped back.

I have read the following F-serials I hope it will help you:
1/F-UGFM
2/F-TEMA
3/F-TETF
5/F-UGFO
6/F-TEMH
9/F-TELP

All arrived on Sunday the 10th of July, unfortunate I missed a few and/or didn't care about taking a pic of them.

Before the Defilé on the 14th two Alpha Jets broke away / flew across and behind the PdF formation and these two were showing on adsb as E105 (aka F-UGFM) and E151 (aka F-UGFD).
But... as far as I can discern from my lousy photos, F-UGFM/1 was indeed the lead plane. So that begs the question what the serials actually were of that pair...

On to my pics, after sharpening the cr#+ out of them, this is what I can discern.
Surely there were guys out there with about twice as much mm-s and a steadier hand?
1/F-UGFM (should be E105)
2/F-TEMA (should be E35)
3/F-TETF (should be E45)
4/F-TELC (should be E87)
5/F-UGFO (should be E81)
6/F-TEMH (should be E48)
8/F-UGFK (should be E127)
(so two more identified)

Plus "unsures":
7/F-TEMF (or TEMC, TEME, or TENC, TENE, TENF :lol: )
9/F-TE_P

Can someone confirm these, especially 7/F-TEMF?

And they flew in a not-so-numerical order:
        4
      5
    7
  3
1
  2
    8
      6
        9

In this case it has more to do with the warm unsettled air, and not fully zooming in to get the whole formation in one shot...

F-TENE (E73) is a prime candidate, I think? That would correlate with the '7' *I believe* I can read off as the first digit on the nosewheel door.

Anyway, not the most thrilling subject, but good for the sake of completeness :D

The missing two Alphajets in the flypast should therefore be;

7/F-TENE E73
9/F-TELP E129

Interesting with respect to the two that flew across before the formation flypast. Additionally to the ones flying, on departure from Villacoubly these were pinging;
E169 F-UHRX 'ATOS 05' (possibly coded 1)
E139 F-UGFC 'ATOS 15' (should be coded 0)

These were both showing and not part of the flypast, BOTH are PdF machines. Interesting with E151 F-UGFD I did not see this on ADSB and this was a machine at Cazaux only a couple of months ago :shock: so I am not sure?

There are normally a couple of spares ..

Food for thought,

Hi Ben,

Alpha Jet coded 0 was indeed F-UGFC, photo confirmed. When the others left later there was too much heat haze to read anything else than their codes, unfortunately.
Small correction to your excellent report: The TBM.700 was 94 XG

After we had gone 94 TBM-700 departed to Fairford also.

The usual Paris was preserved at the gate, as well as the Mirage 2000N and Puma/Gazelle on the other gate. Interestingly a Falcon 20 tailless is dumped on the airfield. Possibly ex instructional?

We did not visit the centre of France ‘Invalides’ where B01 Rafale B, 03 Mirage 2000, and 297 MD450 were present. Additionally French Customers EC145 F-ZBGI and French Military Glider J38 Janus C.

Paris Le Bourget Airport;
=======
Present within the Dassault round-house were the following;
MAX Falcon 2000LX, Qatar Emiri AirForce
V5-(NAM) Falcon 900, Government of Namibia
(ST-PSA) Falcon 900, Government of Sudan

Unfortunately the Marine P180 from Italy had departed about 1 hour before ☹ We did not look for the L410 Slovak that was reported as it was not required. Additionally reported by a friend was CN-MMK Citation in the Cessna hangar which was closed when we visited.

Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport;
