RAF Tucanos at Cannes

[CirrusF]

I had a nice surprise while taxying out early yesterday morning - a couple of CFS(?) Tucanos parked on the apron at Cannes. A nice jolly for somebody! My house is also visible in the photo :)

It's not a jolly, it's essential IF and overseas planning training:ok:

On their way to Malta Airshow this w/e, I suspect?

RAFAT also staged through Nice yesterday I think....according to their website, they have a Swedish C130 as support!

The Red Arrows performed at the Monaco Yacht Show yesterday - so could the Tucanos have been part of the party?

I was at the Monaco Yacht Show today and every body told me what a great show the "Patrouille de France" had put on :bored:

but which fine company from the UK sponsored the Reds for this jolly jaunt?

I saw the Patrouille de France this year and have to say that their display is as good as if not better than the Red Arrows......Is it also true that the Blue Eagles have run out of pilots and will disband this year?
