Around 80 aircraft and helicopters will take part in this year's Quatorze Juillet parade.
Practicing from Chateaudun on Tuesday 28 June with aircraft and helicopters, with 29, 30 & 1 as alternative dates.
Practicing over Paris will take place on Tuesday 6 July, with 11 & 12 as alternative dates.

Go and get them!

Thanks, I was just about to search what the planning was for this year.
One more tip, 1 example of (almost) each helicopter type will land at the Esplanade des Invalides after the parade.

Many thanks to Yorker for the listing. The missing Xingus were 'YC', 'YM' & 'YV'. The missing Fennec from the defile was 'UY'. Still trying to confirm the third French Alpha which from my photos appeared to be uncoded. At one time, a total of 5 Fennecs could be seen from Invalides on traffic/security/photo duties. Three of these were 'WC', 'WE' & 'VW'. Anyone any ideas on the other 2? For anyone interested A310 F-RADB was seen from Invalides on climb out from CDG.

I think these two types have to be changed.

[perrie]

Hi Dave,

One of the 5 Fennecs on photoduty/traffic is coded 'VN', I can clearly read it off from my photo.

Hope this helps.

cheers,

Per

[perrie]

A fifth Fennec is coded 'WH'.
This one is also read 100% from photo!!! (thanks Bart)

This means the fennecs read during photo/traffic/security duties are coded:

'WC' 'WE' 'WH' 'VN' and 'VW'.

These should be: AS555AN: 5511 (WC) 5520 (WE) 5530 (WH) 5540 (VN) and 5466 (VW).

Hope this helps,

Per

Can you confirm Xingu YC? On another group this is quoted as YG.

Thanks,
