Istres 2010 Airshow (June 4-6)

[Shunn31]

With any friend I have gone to Istres Air Force Base (first time for me) for the first Airshow of the year in France by French Air Force.
During my trip we were made a small stop at Nimes and Montpellier Airport

At Nimes


DC10-30F - CargoItallia - I-CGIA - Still stored

KDC-10 - Netherlands Air Force - T-255

[Shunn31]

At Montpellier, we have seen any things but often impossible to takes in pictures...
I have made just 3 pics... but one is impossible to recognize...


A320-200 - Private - F-WCDH - Ex. Seagle Air as OM-HLD

B737-400 - Private - F-WDIH - probably ex. Aegean Airlines as SX-BLM

Can identifiate it ??? Maybe ex. F-WBGE but I'm not sure...

At Montpellier
B737-400 - Private - F-WDIH - probably ex. Aegean Airlines as SX-BLM

Can identifiate it ??? Maybe ex. F-WBGE but I'm not sure...

For the 737;
The SX-BLM is stored in ATH(ens). After a search on CH-Avation.ch I found;
1695 24365 B737-382 EI-DJK Stored at Montpellier (MPL) KD Avia ex-9H-ADM

For the 320;
342 NEW A320-211 N342DK Stored at Montpellier (MPL) ex Air Comet EC-KJG
234 NEW A320-211 F-WCDH Stored at Montpellier (MPL) ex Seagle Air OM-HLD; as you already mentioned.

http://www.ch-aviation.ch/aircraft.php ((and search on 737-300 and 320-200))

The RNLAF T-255 is actually our DC-10-30CF

Adios, Hurricane.
