Nancy-Ochey 2016 mil

Post by Ronaldsnl »

Tuesday july 5 0930 - 1245

Very quiet with local activity.
Only 4 M2000's, numbers will follow later.

But at 0930, just before I arrived, two EdA F18's landed. They took off again at 1115. They were from Ala12. They did not return untill I left. One EF18BM and one EF18M.

Anyone for their identities? Are they here for just a fuelstop or for a local exercise?

Thanks and regards

Ronald

Correct: EPKS was the destination of AME1215.

Merci Beaucoup!

During 2 mornings (july 5 and 6) the following was noted:
M2000D
625 3-XG
641 133-JW
638 3-IJ
683 3-IV
671 3-XK
611 3-JP
620 3-IU
672 3-XV
and of course still the two unknown EdA F18's

Looks like almost all Nancy deux milles are already re-coded to their new (old?) wingcodes. Normal Nancy is a very active base but flying was slow during mornings because of night flying, or better during summer, dawn flying.

Well, the forests around Nancy are very thick :D :D

I kept myself very low profile and only came out when aircraft approaching.

With the help of Mr. Google you can find a picture of the Spanish Hornets (coded 12-03 and 12-73), taken in EPKS! :wink:
