Usually you can expect some rehersals during the week-end (afternoon) before opening gates on Monday.
You can also expect last arrivals

Hi,

Tomorrow (26/05/2019) there will be a fly by over Marne la Coquette (France) and its Lafayette Memorial.
So there will be affirmation of four Rafale and two F-15. I assume those Eagle would come from Lakenheath
The fly by will take place around 1030 (french time)

Hi Slogen51,

Don't forget other option during this spare day. Usually Qatar Rafale are flying each day out of Bordeaux-Merignac airport until first days of June.

Regards
