My recording of QUID51 with Thunderbirds.
They are mentioning the tails in refueling sequence to the boom. In my opinion:

1/388 2/908 4/413 6/898 5/392 7/896

Shortly hereafter I lost them comwise.
I am not sure about 1, might have been 888 or even TB3 / 888

Hi all,

Only for completeness sake, there was 1 more so far unmentioned Alpha Jet. It was more or less with the Thunderbirds before they got close to the Arc de Triomphe, breaking away to the left (= right turn for the pilot) more or less over Seine river. It caught me by surprise and I only have an un-sharp and disappearing Alpha Jet with yellow marks on the fin on my photo.

Otherwise: Thanks to all those closing the gaps I indeed had with their information.

Best regards
Martin

Good evening,

It's been a while since july 14th but has anyone seen the 'BIA' coded Tigre which flew at Bastille Day anywhere since?
I'm still curious about its identity.

regards, Per
