Weatherpredictions for this day were good, so we descided to head to Reims for some mirage action. 20km before we arrived at Reims, the first clouds started to appear, and once at Reims, it was totally covered offcourse... We had some sunny spells during the morning, but then later on it got covered totally. There was some flying activity, but there were nightflights, so less flights during the day, than on a normal day. According to a local spotter, Monday and Tuesday are the busiest days with between 20 and 30 sorties a day with 8-10 different aircraft. Fridays are non flying days. At 13h30 flying stopped for the lunch break, and at 14h00 we descided to go to Cambrai instead. When we were 15 minutes away from Reims, there was the sun again, and we had lovely weather at Cambrai. Apparently Reims was just on the edge of the clouds... In Cambrai we saw 4 mirage 2000's in 2 hours and a Mirage F-1 that made 6 touch and go's.
Then off to Cambrai:
