Reims Airshow 4 july

Post by Vonsmalhausen »

went to Reims last sunday, it was most probably the last ocasion for me to see the Mirage 4 :cry: it was a nice show, to bad there where some rain showers :evil: but here's how Belgian Pilots deal with such a weather :lol:

Your pics of the Mirage IV's bring back some good memories - waiting around at RAF Wyton one March in the cold and rain during an "Elder Forest" excercise for 3 of the beasts to "attack" the airfield. When they arrived they were flying vey low and very fast - superb. I also had a good close up view at K-B a few years ago at a spotters meet when one taxied out no more than 10 metres from where we stood - incredible noise. (Also seen that day US Navy Tomcat also an awesome beast)
