2Donkeys - the other old jet a/c on the piccie is a Lockheed T-33 (ex-French Air Force).

Reims-Prunay's runway is about 1,150m long, located ESE of the city. No navaids but easy to find. Oriented 07/25.

While around there you can do a T/GO at nearby Chalons/Vatry, a cargo airport with an impressive 3,840m runway and a few cannibalised/derelict aircraft (747-200, An-12) on the apron. The tower is not always manned by day which means you can get away with not paying the landing fee...

Cheers
