Military Jets Photography: 2007 07 07 Meeting de l'air Evreux

In 2007, Evreux was one of the airbases to organize on July 8th a Meeting de l'air. The Evreux airshow would have become a footnote in the history of French airshows, but the organisers were able to attract the USAF ‘Thunderbirds’ to their field. The USAF demoteam ‘the Thunderbirds’ spent a few weeks in Europe.
The static show demonstrated 2 lines with static aircraft, showing fighters like Mirages, F-16’s, A-10’s, Rafales, Typhoon. Several transport aircraft like the C-160, C-130 and C-17 were parked on the public part.
The flightline of the show was located on the parallel runway, close to the public. You could see the flight preparations from nearby of the stuntteams: the Breitling Jet team, Patrouille de France, Patrulla Aguila, Royal Jordanian Falcons and the Thunderbirds. Also the solo aircraft like F-16, Mirage 2000, Fouga Magister were very close.
I attended the well organised spottersday on the 7the. Unfortunately the Thunderbirds and the Patrulla Aguila didn't flew that day. But the weather was good compared to the massive rainshowers on the showday which even let to some cancellations like the Belgian F-16 and Fouga Magister.
