Seems to be some (5) Mirage 2000N from Istres (runway works?) are here for the next week farewell tour in France.

Gendarmerie in '2018' is no problem.

That would be nice! Are they only there this week? (23 aprill)
Is there something known about flyingtimes and sorties of something? Are they flyingtimes two of three Waves a day?

@Martijn
Better to stay off the spotting point facing the control tower (or a chance of being controlled and invited to leave), and to stand at the 'final' spotting points.
2000N are expected to leave early this week.
These days, sorties are usually less than 10 per day. But one never knows.
Good luck

The spotting point in front of the tower never caused any problems to me. They are quite used to spotters here. Sunwise it is good until 11:30 or so.

About flying times: normally the Mirages fly in two waves. One starts around 9:30 and the second sometime between 13:00/15:00.
Also QRA (exercize) is possible and expect Fennec helicopters to fly 9:00-11:00 and 13:30-16:00.
