Hi all!
My last topic from the Toulouse-area for now as we’re heading back home. Anyway, on the way back from Toulouse to our vacation home, I made a quick stop at Francazal again to see what’s new:
1. With the US-Bangla ATR gone from it’s spot, I was now able to take a picture of this Chengdu Airlines A320 F-WHUR. This Airbus (and a few others for them), has not been taken-up by the airline and is awaiting what to come at Francazal:

2. This CN-235 199/64-GL dropped in to visit the para regiment which is stationed at the airport. Heatwaves….

3. There was also an A400M of the Armee de l’Air present on the far side at the military part of the airport but heatwaves were really bad. However, I was very lucky while driving home as the A400M did some very low-level flying in the area of Francazal. A quick stop at the side of the road just before the village Les Ajoulets (13 km from the airport) gave me this shot at only 200mm. Really cool to see such a beast (0122/F-RBAS) doing low-level flying between the hills and villages:

And that was it!
Happy spotting and until next topic.
Cheers!

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

That is indeed perfect timing (or luck) with that A.400!
