Nice log. Thanks for posting

[Vulture One]

Hi,
Excellent and helpful log as will be in the area myself in September. Much appreciated. If I may ask, were you able to read the KC-135s at Nimes-Garon from the Sec Civile side? Have been, so know layout.

And also, did you have to wade through all the civil A330s to see the French AF one in primer. My visit to either will have the lady in tow and don't really want to lose any brownie points. Or rather any more.

Thanks again for great report.

Sorry for the late reply
with regards to Nimes all were read on the civil side from near Aviation Defense Service , there were dotted about the field , I think one got missed due to heat haze

With regards the A330 in primer , yes it was mixed in with all the other airbus on the factory site , you can see it in this picture

hope your trip goes well

Hi,
No worries as still just finalising plans, so thanks.

Now know where to go for the 135s, thank you for that. However as I had guessed, in order to keep myself in a good place, I may bodyswerve checking out all the 330s. I do wish to go to Ailes Anciennes so will keep that as the place for that day enroute back. Arranged for Rochefort the following day so spacing them out and not going daft, all good, only fair.

Your report was great and the reply of great use. Much appreciated, be well.

Regards
Rick

Morning,

Just back from a similar trip but starting at Rotterdam.

However just a confirmation for Nimes-Garon for 24th September. No change on 29th.
On the main airport ramp was C-135FR 471 which was clearly not going anywhere anytime soon. Taped up all over and clearly read from the Sec Civ park.
Towards the Av Fed ramp were the line of C-135FRs which I had thought were also in storage. These were 472, 474, 475, 735 and 739. All looking clean retaining 31-C* codes. These were in a line and again clearly read from near the Av Def facility. Plus A400M F-RBAL on the same ramp.
However today Tuesday 11th I note 739 on ADSB flying again so not quite in storage yet. Having gone to Istres and seen just how many aircraft there are there now, maybe there are ramp space issues?

No change to the five S-2s stored on the SW ramp and all confirmed.

Hope this helps someone else. And if anyone was at Marignane-Provence for the last two weeks in September, please let me know as unidentified helicopters in primer were flying a lot. Cheers.

Hi again,
Just a further update to the initial report above.
22nd Sept - Buzet - Magister 532 still at airfield.
22nd Sept - Vodecee - F-84F excellent FU-154 on round about, however could not see the Mig-15UTI alongside the Toyota garage in Neuville but a lot of vegetation there now.
23rd Sept - Dijon-Longvic, both guards Mystere 290 and Mirage 609 easily viewed. Plus Mirage 111 501 is now in the Apache Aviation hanger and visible.
24th Sept - Crissey near Chalon - Jaguar A59 still in yard, very visible .
27th Sept - Marignane all the previously stored Gazelles now appear to be inside one of the workshops hear the entrance to the western side of the airfield. Saw seven but only two identified as not a place to hang around I realised. Particularly when a VIP was there with a Falcon 7X, Puma and Fennec from EC.067.
1st October - Toulouse-Francazal - only two C.160s, 64-GD (R204) and 64-GZ (F226), codes read clearly. No sign of 64-GC R207 which was the one I wanted to see!
Hope this helps someone in their planning just as the first report by mm12bva helped myself.
Kind regards
Rick W
