[mirage 69]

What's the reason?
Will the French join Norvenich for Brilliant Arrow?

A French AF C160 is expected in about 30 minutes at ETNN

Thanks for the information, as I was there anyway waiting for the regular German Transall, I was able to get her:

C-160R ET00.061 RA02/61-MI camo c/s L14:14

Regarding the previous question: probably just a replacement for the regular "Friday" C-160 flight bringing back personnel from Neuburg which is detached there during the Eurofighter transistion phase during week days.

The JG 74 Eurofighters have probably arrived for exercise Brilliant Arrow indeed.

with many thanks to an information-chain of some fellow spotters, I can confirm the following two French Alpha Jets are present at Nörvenich right now, probably for a fuel-stop/lunch-stop:

E170/705-RY
E148/705-LU

edit:
also EF.2000 30+76 (no badge) has arrived right now, probably a new delivery for JaboG 31.
