Hi all,
After a nice lay-in and good breakfast, we headed South to Tarbes. I had a friend in the car who needed stuff around Toulouse and Tarbes, so he got shown the lovely Noratlas on display at the small base in the town.

Between Tarbes town and the airfield, this was to be seen displayed on top of a massive roundabout.

The ex-French Navy Rallye was dismantled in the DAHER area. I made very little here with just the Thai A330 and one of the Mango 737s hitting my book airliner wise. A couple of others in the car were purring though….again a circuit around here is very easy and hassle free, should be tempted.

Muret/Lherm
A massive 14 from here for me, padded out by lots of French ULMs. This place can always be hit and miss with regards to anything going on and any hangars being open. This visit was one of the better ones that I’ve made and I’ll keep chipping away at this place in future as there is a lot based here.

This is just a few miles away from Muret/Lherm…I’m told it used to be visible at a Toulouse City location in the past, but I never caught up with there.
