HI All
Toady I had the choice of going to Landi to try & catch the Egyptian Rafales or stay home & supervise the emptying of the sceptic tank
Logged between 10:30 & 17:00 in the order in which they appeared.
5 Rafale M
42 Rafale M
10 Rafale M
38 Rafale M
41 Rafale M
44 Rafale M
36 Rafale M
32 Rafale M
12 Rafale M
45 Rafale M
43 Rafale M
101 Falcon 10MER
32 Falcon 10 mer
1 E-2C Hawkeye
9 Rafale M
39 Rafale M
46 Rafale M
SU-BKU / 1299 Lockheed C-130H-30 Egyptian AF
143 Falcon 10MER
7 Rafale M
20 Rafale M
In total 16 Rafales were noted. Some flew in the morning & afternoon.
There was neither sight nor sound of the Egyptian Rafales
The Egyptian Herc was a most unwelcome visitor as it suggests that the Rafales will be off tomorrow.
I was hoping they would still be here next week.
I'll post some photos eventually.

Landivisiau 26-10-2017
Re: Landivisiau 26-10-2017
It turns out that the EGY Rafales maybe didn't go to Landivisau at all but went to Solenzara instead? They are returning home today.
I wonder if it was a case of 'EGY C-130s to Landi' so the Rafales must be going there too'? Can anybody actually confirm if they were seen at Landi’?
Regards

Yes, they arrived at Landi at some point this week.

And the reason:
[Quote: These three Egyptian Rafale ended a training with the French Air Force in Solenzara and headed for Brittany (...)"They are currently in Landivisiau for training with the French naval forces. "As part of the training of Egyptian pilots, a small part of the course takes place on BAN Landivisiau," says a French Marine source. "It concerns the procedures of refueling in flight"."

Great, thanks Sonny. Hopefully it’s a fairly regular occurrence!
