On saturday the 24th, the "meeting de l'air" was being helt at the 123rd airbase Orleans-Bricy.
As a 6 hour drive from my home I decided to pick up a friend and go there in the hopes of catching some new types and numbers of the French, as I haven't gone spotting in France up until now.
I was not disappointed with the 15 A400s and about 10 jets and some nice others.
Nothing too big, but I was happy with the results nonetheless!
Here's a couple for an impression.
(The only double registrations for me were 2 of the 3 TBM-700s and the CN-235 and demo Rafale, the rest were all new!)

I won't include much of the static, as it bores me

yep, a whole 6 on static display, 1 in a hangar, 3 parked on the opposite side of the runway and the other 5 parked on the flightline.
