Scramble Messageboard

Sjoerd, I was there in August 2010. My pics show the following deviations compared to your report. 40+18 Alpha Jet A 94+54 T-33A spec. c/s 10 CM170 spec. c/s F-AZEO/210 MD.312 09/11 Mirage 3A 467/13-.. Mirage 3EX 48/314-ZF Mystere IVA 418/3-QQ Mirage 3E 40+18 & 94+54 are correct, this is a misread/...

Hi Andy,

I will check some of the pictures I took and let u know!

Cheers,

It's 2014 now, so time for an update! :D Below is the report of a brief stop over on our way North. All is noted from the outside as the museum was still closed at that time. 26-7-2014 Outside (FU-123) F-84F 40+18 Alpha Jet A 281 MiG-21U.600 ex 23+94 582 MiG-23MF ex 20+03 1910 Lim-5R 1221 TS-11-bis-...

@ Raameagle & W&R

Thanks for your input!

Anyone know the ID of this Mirage 3B (just north of Spot 1, off base)? I have it noted (wrongly) as 202 since 2006 already, so it has been here some time already.

MTIA,

Seen here on the 15th of July was MD.312 (200)/13-TA. It is parked near the airport entrance in a beautifull mountaines surrounding.

Noted here on the 16th of July was EC.145 9124/JBO on detachment. Acces and pictures where no problem!

Noted here during a brief stop at the local McDonalds (conveniently located next to the field) where the following: 26-7-2014 380/YR Schempp Nimbus 4DT EVVAA21.535 1x D.140R AdlA According to a flyer on the door, there was a Portes Ouvertes today at the local Aeroclub to promote the French defence (...

The DHC6 was parked inside a hangar at the former ALAT-area (East side) and I think this is out of bounds. Luckily the door was open. The Turbo Porter was in a closed hangar just North of the through road passing the Northern approach. The hangar had a logo of Pilatus on it which caught my attention...

During our summer holidays we had a camping nearby Istres for a period of 5 days, so spotting was inevitable for me. Unfortunately spot 2 is inaccessable anymore these days, as this is private land and the gate (next to the air force gate) is closed. I didn't fancy driving up to spot 5 because this ...

Noted here on a brief stop during our summer holiday where: 28-7-2014 (11:00-11:25lt) Main ramp R158/(61-ZX) C-160R ET00.064 4588/(61-PM) C-130H ET00.061 (5140)/61-PD C-130H-30 ET00.061 5151/(61-PH) C-130H ET00.061 (9035)/JBF EC.145 Gendarmerie (arrival) Sadly no new A.400's outside :evil: Dispersal...

A brief stop during our summer holiday was made on the day before the Tour de France started here (well, Gap town that is). 19-07-2014 (15:00-16:00lt) 730/CA DHC6-300 1ETA (300)/F-RACE DHC6-300 1ETA (inside hangar) 891/MCE PC-6B2/H4 ETCM (inside hangar) It seems that Gap is often used, maybe even a ...

Thanks Perrie, I just changed it.

Good luck next week and maybe needless to say, but the best luck is found in the early evening (less heathaze, less traffic/Gendarmerie)

The below is an overview from two successive visits, both from the outside. The report is based on own sightings and photographs taken during the visits and those from other reports (between brackets). Some ID's were removed from the planes (blacked out), but most ID's are again sprayed on the nose....

The below is the result of some holiday spotting. I noted the MIL ones only and some civil ones that where captured by accident. Any additions/corrections or future MIL-ID's are most welcome!

Hoi Sven,

Ik ben er ooit eens een keer op bezoek geweest. Normaliter staat er maar 1 gebaseerd en het is vrij gemakkelijk ter plekke even een bezoekje te regelen bij de Marine. In ons geval werd deze zelfs naar buiten op het platform gesleept in het zonnetje!

Grt,
