From Google translate..
"Orange BA 115 is getting dressed up for its Open Days on June 28 and 29. The Mirage 2000 C RDi, after 34 years of service and 235,000 flight hours, bowed out and left Orange-Caritat air base 115 in 2022. The arrival of the Rafale was then announced for the summer of 2024."

Worth mentioning for anyone going is the air museum on the edge of the town. Most exhibits outside and easily visible from the fence if they are closed.

Looks excellent, bringing back the US F-17 and some acrobats for the 50,000 spectators. Quality.

Would seem like most of the base all be a building site,still as I will be in Nice that weekend it would be rude not to visit
So will be watching for the website to register as per the above link

Flypast of E3/Rafale/PdF being the stand out item

[pg1610]

Log as follows, a few light aircraft omitted, the gate guards not read off except Mirage 2000 (all seen whilst taking the bus back to the car park)

To hot (car said 41 when we got back to it) to hang around or take a walk up to the show area so if anything parked up there I missed it

Request for the Eurocopter EC725 AP Cougar parked at back of flight line, Only two Fennecs logged I assume more were off site or parked near the showground area ?
