Patrouille De France Refueling Stop - 17th March

Post by 10w » Fri Mar 17, 2017 8:21 am

10 Alpha Jets of the PdF along with a FAF A400M and FAF TBM930 in support should make a short stop to refuel at Lossie today.

They are planned to arrive from Orleans and depart to Keflavik, en route to a North American tour.

Don't have an exact ETA but early afternoon was mentioned.
