Re: Identity of ''COTAM43'' at Orange/LFMO 3rd aug 2012?

Gents, Concerning the identity of the Da900, I checked photo's on Airliners.net of both Da900 still in the inventory of the French AF. I noticed that 2/F-RAFP has an all white c/s with no outer markings and 4/RAFQ wears titles and a bl/wh/rd cheatline. The Da900 that CBR and I saw landing on August,...

Well, the lucky bastard says thanks to all for their help in filling this gap in my log for today! :-)

When I am back, I will publice a full log from my days at Orange. To bad I missed the 4 AMI EF2000's that came in last wednesday due to a broken car.

Great pics Noddy! The two Austrians captured in one image is my favorite, closely followed by the Hamburg Airways in it's new livery.

Well, it doesn't look good at halftime.

Possible candidate if the score remains this looks like J 0-02....

Re: Cambrai-Epinoy (LFQI/XCB) - 2012 MIL

Hey Wim,

Many thanks about your updates on the Mirage-scene at Cambrai!

I've seen the first pics of 121/103-KN at Orange around April, 25. I guess somewhere around that date it arrived at BA115.

It looks like Orange is crowded with Mirage 2000's by now!

Greetings, Erik

Re: EDDF Frankfurt Airport 14-04-2012

Excellent pictures guys! Highlights for me are the ANA 787, KuwaitAirways A.340 and the Singapore-"Schlumpf"-A.380.

Het waren twee prachtige dagen! ("That were two perfect days").

Re: Cambrai -Epinoy 08-03-2012

Great shots indeed and the fact that the possibilities are improving (so it seems) does make Cambrai a favorite place to go during it's last operational days (at least for me)! I heard that on friday March, 30 the final ceremony will take place at Cambrai and I heard some rumors on 2 Mirage 2000 's ...
