Can you confirm which aircraft you saw at the ground, and which one actually participated in the fly-past.
Thanks in advance.
to Michiel
Gazelle's:
BPM confirmed
BOA confirmed
BOI confirmed
BPN? misread for BPM or BPR?
BDR (leader) misread for BPR?
BOC confirmed
BPL confirmed
CWQ confirmed
How many Gazelle did actually performed in the fly-past, you noted 8 while other sources say 7.
Edit: 7 is correct.
3 Tigre's participated in the fly-past, from which one was a German example. One of the French Tigre's is reported as 2009/BHB, but this one is also reported is in the static display. Can someone confirm this one participated in the flight past and the static display.
Can anyone confirm the AS.555 that was flying around between the flypasts?It looks like it is coded "WL" from my photos.Also anyone for a more complete log please?

Hi Jason,
Your code WL is correct. Which should make it 5559/WL. There were 4 AS555 flying around during the parade, another one was 5458/VV. Other two still unknown.
LOG is almost complete, only miss the Mirage2000's and some Rafale's.
On July 14th we were at Creil hoping for aircraft from the defilé. We saw the ALAT helicopters depart. This was what came back:
CN235: 62-IE, 62-II, 62-IQ
Gazelle: BPM, BPR, BOA, BOC, CWQ, BPL
Tigre: BHA, 7406
Before departure Cougar CYD departed
Before the Gazelles, Puma AZB landed with large white text ´1.000.000 Heures de Vol´
Two Mirage 2000s flew: 12-YS/90 and 12-KD/123 fully armed, probably providing overhead cover. 12-YB/94 was present as a spare.
The day after we were at Reims inthe morning to see Romanian Lancer 6305 depart with support An-26 810.
F1CT 30-QF/273 flew home as well
F1CR active: NU/603, CU/608, CC/613, CK/634, NV/640, CG/642, CH/645, CL/657, NK/661
Very relaxed spotting here
Next the afternoon at St Dizier
Rafales: 7-HI/313, 7-HK/315, 7-HU/322, 7-HZ/327
Mirage 2000: 4-BN/332, 3-XJ/602 both made overshoots
Gazelle: CXB
Here a local spotting group seems to be forming!
And Nancy on 16 July
Mirages: 3-JU/614, 3-IU/620, 3-JL/628, 3-IH/631, 3-IJ/638, 3-JJ/(639), 3-XY/649, 3-XA/662, 3-IG/668, 3-XV/672, 3-XZ/685

Two Alpha jets made a pass at 1000 ft, and flew on....
Off course we remained well hidden here.
