4 Fennecs oversaw/filmed the events. The one flying south of the river was coded (5548)/VV (hex 3B76C3 on FR24). The one mostly flying north of the river was I think coded (5466)/VW (it was far away) (hex 3B76BC on FR24). A 3rd (5516)/WD was visible south of the Hotel des Invalides. (5444)/VP was also identified

Some additions and queries

F-16 gave tail numbers to KC-135R QID?? as follows
92-3908/888/896/898/881/97-0392

F-22A 09-4180/08-4163

ALPHA JET ?/8-MA (E173 ???)
ALPHA JET ?/105-MA (E173 or E35 ??)

TIGRE /BIA (2016 ??)

AS555 5441/VO we read off but seen WD reported ??

Any help sorting queries appreciated

[David Moore]

Tbird 896 reported as returned to Fairford at 0916 Friday 14.07.17, then towed to the hangar later, so did not take part in the fly past over Paris

[Fishbed_9307]

Some additions and queries

ALPHA JET ?/8-MA (E173 ???)
ALPHA JET ?/105-MA (E173 or E35 ??)

TIGRE /BIA (2016 ??)

AS555 5441/VO we read off but seen WD reported ??

Any help sorting queries appreciated

Hi,

8-MA was indeed E173. I can confirm the second MA as E35/705-MA (both seen landing at Evreux the previous day)

I am also puzzled about BIA!

The three Fennecs in the flypast were VC, VO and VY with VO sporting a EH 03.067 badge. I is common that some Fennec patrol overhead the city during the day so this might explain the sighting of WD.

Regards, Paul
