When do the participating aircraft arrive at Evreux or other airfields next week?

Except for the Indians along with probably some aircraft from a host FAF unit usually the day before.

Apparently 240 Indian military personnel will march in the parade on the Champs Elysées on July 14th, so perhaps transporting them?

CB8008 now above Italy. Probably a stopover somewhere.

Any ETA for the Rafales?

Evreux is closed on Tuesday afternoon except for a/c training for Bastille days

For exercise Orion'23 the Indian Rafales did a stop over in Egypt and arrived 1 day after their departure at Mont de Marsan (on a saturday). I expect the same will happen this time and Rafales arriving tomorrow.

Also, I found notams for Evreux confirming taxiway Alpha is unusable from Jul-10th due the aircraft for the July-14th parade, so possibly aircraft will start arriving from monday. Rehearsing tuesday.

Lastly, I found NOTAMS confirming Chartres is on for the ALAT deployment starting July-11th.

On 14th July each service runs a PR event, the Armée de 'Air et de l'Espace one is in the parc André Citroën and they advertise the presence of a Fennec and a Puma, (which is a step up from last year when they displayed Janus C J38!). Poster here:

If the aircraft on Evreux parked on taxiway Alpha, can they be reasonably seen/spot from Outside the base ??
So not only a row of tails ?

[Sjoerd]

Yes, from the south you have an elevated view from the bridge and from the northeast (along the fence west of Gauciel) one can possibly see the ones parked close by.
