REQ: Tarbes/Lourdes-Pyrenees, France (LDE/LFBT)

Post by R. Stalenhoef »

Good evening all,

For the past few months and most recently today I noticed a military Saudi Arabia Be300 with serial 4108 (callsign Xenon01) flying from and to Tarbes/Lourdes airport. As I will be in that area in about 3 weeks for 2 weeks I wonder two things.

1. Is it in a military c/s?
2. Is it flying regular missions?

Thanks for any reply in advance!

Pictures from February 2024 show it in full Saudi Air force colors at Toulouse.
At this moment it's almost daily flying from Tarbes, was previously at Toulouse. But if it's still there in 2/3 weeks??

Thanks Pieter!

I noticed that it moved back to Toulouse around noon on the 17th of July. Again for an update?
Who knows but hopefully they have used the time well and I pray that it will be back Tarbes/Lourdes
airport in a week...... ;)

Bad news if you want to see it. It was seen at Souda last week, I safe to assume on delivery to Saudi Arabia


Edit: not Souda, Heraklion
