We missed the PC-21's whilst stuck in traffic. Another 2 should be present (709-FE & FQ). Anyone know which Falcon we saw? Also looking for info where preserved Allouette3 and Fennec (UC) can de seen!?

Pres Mirage 2000N 310 has now code 4-BE read.
The dumped Falcon was on spot where the WFU N262 78/AF used to be.

The Falcon and Mirage can easily be seen from underneath the western approach (park the car underneath the lights and climb the western embankment to get some elavation). Edit, also from the eastern approach end vissable.

Hello Erik

What time did EBC arrive?
I noticed a blue tail NH90 over the Bois de Boulogne between roughly 7.30 and 8.30 but ASDB showed this one as EBW.(I understand this could be wrong in ADSB)

And are you sure of EBC at Charters ECB was seen with special markings!
Or are these different markings to the blue one or are there 2 blue tailed ones?

[erik_kamphuis]

Hi, sorry typo. There is only 1 with blue mks. Should be ECB from Chartres. It left Chartres 5.50LT this morning

[Sleegertje]

We saw ECB with blue tail landing at Heliport de Paris at 08.35, we could even read serial 1482.

Thanks Sleegertje
So ASDB is wrong for this one.

Looking at the picture from Falcon 20 291/F-RAEG at Eurodemobbed and this was the G.I. aircraft on Villacoublay (white with red cheatline) we may assume this is the one on the dump? Anyone more info? The other Falcon 20 on base has a blue cheatline and code on engine (is/was pres on base)
