BA132 Meeting National; Colmar-Meyenheim, June 30, 2002

A Typical French Airshow; Text and Photograph's by Alex van Noye

During the open house at Colmar-Meyenheim in eastern France the platform of the participants of the show was very accessible. The airshow at Colmar was very small in size, because there were not too many planes present at this typical French event. An advantage was that the aircraft were good to photograph, because there was enough space between the parked aircraft. After about half an hour on the platform a C-160 Transall arrived which was the support aircraft for the Patrouille de France. After a short stop to drop of some cargo the aircraft departed again and disappeared in a southerly direction. After walking around in the morning on the platform I decided to return home.
