Spent 40 minutes here from 1 PM today. As we arrived, a TBM700 came in and 3 Mirages in A/A configuration went up:
606/3-JC
630/3-XD
638/3-IJ
JC and XD were carrying mission markings, only JC was wearing a sqn badge.
They dogfighted overhead for 20 minutes and returned. Immediately followed by the TBM's departure and a 2-ship 2000Ds. I didn't await their recovery. Gendarmerie came after 5 minutes (EC1/3 crew saw me driving up and down behind their squadron building as I was watching the take-offs) and asked me friendly not to cross the road (D904) to the airbase side, but taking pictures of the planes from the dirtroad where the tree logs always are is fine. Since the light was getting worse and I had my wife and baby with me, I only waited for the 3-ships' recoveries, and they each made a nice overshoot. Apologies for the weird double watermark, no idea how that happened:
