Thanks,
I'm 36 years old and I live in Zulte, between Gent and Kortrijk. This is my 22nd year of spotting, so I think I am already a little bit of an oldie. Highlights for me for 2005 should be Kecskemet, Radom and Oceana. And if the Indian Su-30's will come to France next june, that could be very interesting to.

I haven't heard anything about being present at an event but, they would come to France with 6 Su-30 MKI's and 2 Il-78 tankers for a DACT exercise with Mirage 2000-5's and Rafale's. This message was on a french messageborad yersterday:
IAF to send Sukhois to France for Joint exercises:
For the first time, India would be sending its much acclaimed Russian SU-30K fighters for joint exercises with the French Air Force in France in June this year.
The Sukhoi 30's which had created ripples last year by getting the better of US Air Forces F-15Cs in joint manoeuvres over Gwalior, would this time cross swords with the French Frontline Rafale and upgraded Mirage 2000-5 in the exercises codenamed Garuda II.
"A team of Six Sukhoi fighters backed by two IL-78 mid-air refuellers would take part in the joint Indo-French fighter exercises", Air Vice Marshal S C Mukul said here.
With the Indian Air Forces interaction with foreign air forces becoming almost a yearly ritual, the Force is now developing the Kalaikunda Air base in West Bengal as an arena for Joint training with Foreign air forces. "We are developing international facilities at the base so that it can host such joint manoeuvres" Mukul said adding the airfield would be ready for such events by the end of the year, when it would be the site of second Indo-US fighter exercises.
The Americans, who last year did not accede to the IA request for joint exercises involving its frontline F-16 Fighting falcons, has this time agreed to bring these fighters to the Indian soil. The US Air Force action could have been swayed by the fact that Lockheed Martin, the manufacturers of the highly rated fighters, are making a serious bid for the IAF's contract to induct 126 multi-role aircraft. --
I don't think they will visit a bese here in the north, because there are no real DACT training areas here. Maybe Cazaux, Mont de Marsan or Istres.
