Hi Yoyo le Petaf,
many thx for sharing your photos!
I`ve seen only one time in my life a Rafale and a Mirage 2000 in real action. That was in Reims 2009. And let me say, I was so impressed.
I know only one Factory at this world with the s*xiest and the best designed aircraft's of all aircrafts in the world, really. And that`s Dassault of course!!! Have the legendary Mirage III in mind, ooh my god.... so cool!
The flowers that you had on focus are:
The yellow is Sedum acre (Poivre de muraille) and the pink is Coronilla varia (Coronille bigarree)

Album info

Yestersday was the spotter days for one of the Airshow organised by the French Air Force. The idea was more to show all the different jobs of the Armée de l'Air. It was decided to present only french Aircraft, so the show was limited.

But maybe what is "common" for me may be a little "exotic" for some of you...
