Hi Guy's

Good trips 2014

Considering this show has a lot of potential, build up has been very quiet so far.

Patrouille Suisse and Patrulla Aguila are both down to display. Any more news on participants?

[Sud-Ouest]

As far as I know the 21st is for Air Force personnel and family and the 22nd is for the general public.

Well, the "Nancy-list" has so far failed to impress many people ,
and I suppose
Cazaux hasn't set many hearts on fire as well, so far.

I guess it's up to the "warbirds" and the "locally based boys" (i.e. Singaporeans and French CEV etc) to somehow make this event into something worth travelling to.

Thanks Joris for your report.

As I was very used to the Singapore A-4's on Cazaux the past many years, I noticed there is not a single one in your log. I am not all that up-to-date anymore but found out they are replaced by the M-346.

Does anybody know what has happened with the A-4's on Cazaux? Have they returned to Singapore?,Or are they scattered over europe in museums?

Best regards, Mark
