This afternoon I decided to pay a quick visit to Le Bourget. I was lucky enough to see this beauty arrive.

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. |

It is also a very poor country that's kinda flooded right now that has the UN working on relief flights to move that way
Their Air Force also received Belgian HS748's and A109's in the past if memory serves me right. Nice catch though!
