Hyeres - 100 years Aeronavale - 13 june 2010

[YOXA]

I recieved some information yesterday when I was onboard the USS Truman that 4 F/A18's , 1 E2C and on SH60 will be present at the Hyers airshow.
The aircraft will be place on static display and will fly their demo from Hyeres.
No other aircraft will participate on a parade or so.
The carrier will depart friday-evening on on saturday morning.

Sorry,

The carrier will depart from Marseille to the Hyeres aerea for the launch of the 6 aircraft and it should be visable from the harbour of Hyeres.

Does anyone know if the Indian & Singaporean aircraft will pay a visit to Hyeres over the weekend?

[Shunn31]

Normally no, IrishAirPics... but we never say Maybe and I hope
I hope, also, get any on Monday @ Istres AFB when I will come back to LFBO

The carrier will depart friday-evening on on saturday morning.

If possible could some kind soul advise on the message board when or if the vessel has departed the port.
Saves a lot of people (including me) a wasted trip into the port of Marseille tonight or tomorrow morning.

Thanks
