[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 8169409, member: 349"] The story about the French Air Base visit Back in 2017 about this time of the year. Cutting hay for Michael. Stopped to change a blade on the mower. Heard jet coming over head. But very low. Used to army transports and fighter jets doing their top gun training. Not to unusual to see 2 fighter jets chasing each other head for a few minutes. But when I looked seen a large 4 engine jet liner. Then seen the radar dome on the top. So that night when I got home did a google search about the AWACS to discover that some of the French based Jets were working of Avord airbase just out side Bourges so only about 60km away. Found a facebook page for the airbase and stared to follow the page. So last March they put up a note for people to apply for tickets to go to the 90th anniversary of the airbase and 30 years of the AWACS been based there. Sent off a message and got a reply back how many tickets did I need. Great to see every thing up close [URL='https://www.facebook.com/edca00.036/?ref=page_internal']Facebook page link [/URL] [ATTACH type="full" alt="2022-06-02 16.08.49.jpg"]1040307[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="2022-06-02 16.10.52.jpg"]1040308[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="2022-06-02 16.18.23.jpg"]1040309[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="2022-06-02 16.30.14.jpg"]1040311[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="2022-06-02 16.30.32.jpg"]1040312[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="2022-06-02 16.32.09.jpg"]1040313[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="2022-06-02 16.33.22.jpg"]1040314[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="2022-06-02 17.14.57.jpg"]1040315[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="2022-06-02 17.36.56.jpg"]1040316[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="2022-06-02 17.53.08.jpg"]1040317[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
