France Sud (week 31-2012) - picture heavy !!!

[soundbarrier]

Since I had one extra week of vacation I decided to travel to the South of France for a MIL photography trip.

Lots of bases & places were visited like Marseille, Orange, Le Luc, Hyeres, Cuers, Salon, Istres, La Berre, Nimes etc.

Since its holiday season also the south of France does not see to much MIL flying with Orange as the positive exception.

Due to the high temperatures and weak winds heathaze was another challenge.

Here some of the results.

Marseille







Salon


Istres



Cuers



Montelimar



Orange

Phwoar, Mirages et Typhoons a Orange pour moi

Regarding the ItAF Typhoons (4), I believe they are on the loose now ... "seeing" them at Leeuwarden (NL), Orange (F) and Leuchars very recently, all 36st Stormo.

At Orange they competed against 4 Mirage 2000s

Nice to see the Italians know where the gear retract lever is (RAF please take note)

Great shots.

It should be somewhere in the RAF manual too

Nice set of images, the Mirage burner shots standout for me.
