Le Luc, May 4th

I brought some sunshine from the south of France:












Nice, small show. I was there untill noon and then left for Hyères. So no pics of the displays (wich were pretty much the same as Hyères).

great shots you did some traveling the last days ;D
did'nd know the Tiger is in service, hope to see here soon

There were 3 Tigres on the base: 2 French and 1 German. They are operational with a joint training unit between the French and German Army. The same thing exists in Germany, in Fassberg, but that is a technical shool. Le Luc is the operational shool to learn to use the new helicopter.

I must say that the French army personel was very helpfull for us spotters: they prepared a list with all the serials of the helicopters present on the base on that day. That would have been impossible a few years ago. They told us that they had an Australian Tigre as well but he left a couple of weeks ago.

well, its good to hear times change........ in a good way
indeed, there seems to be a "acceptance" by the military of the phenomenon "spotter" these day's ( just look at KB )
