Are you sure the Rafale M = 24? On monday there were 20, 21 and 25 which arrived. No 20 left. Did they already change 25 for 24?

Per

It must be 25. Sorry touch the wrong button

FA-75 performed an overshoot. It did not carry any tanks or pylons and looked freshly painted. Therefore we figured it could have been a FCF from Gosselies or something.

Thanks Paul, found out that this one had a basic callsign from Brogel, and was seen there on thursday. Last time I spotted the FA75 was 23/07.

Hello,
We've went to Florennes last Saterday.
We were able to read everything on the platform and MM7251 is correct.
We could not find the HH-3F, where is it parked?
We've went to the other side of the base to see if it was parked on the beginning of the taxiway but it wasn't parked there. Luckily we saw an f-16 being towed and when we looked good at it we saw it was the Portugese 15133!!

It was not parked on the TLP platform but next to a hangar at the beginning of the parallel runway. It was parked overthere between the buch sow you can't read it from the outside =[

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the reply, I know which place you mean.
Luckily we saw the Portugees while we were looking for the Pelican.

Hi all,

I visited Florennes last friday and have a few questions about the serials of the aircraft on the platform.

The Portuguese F-16's, which ones were they? I read off 15106 and 15127, but couldn't read the other ones.

I read off two Phantoms, 37+26 and 38+02, but somehow forgot to read off the third one. Was that 37+77 or 38+54?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Jochem
