It looks like an image from the past: a Vampire on the taxiway and a Dakota landing. J-1111 goes back to the military apron while N64784 comes in for landing.

Having become familiar with seeing Tony deBruyn perform in his Bronco it was interesting to see the French counterpart, also an ex WGAF target-tug. The German OV-10Bs had a clear dome replacing the rear cargo door and a seat in the cargo bay giving a view of what was going on behind. Now owned by the Amicale des Avions Anciens de la Drôme

A flying survivor from the 396 of the French equivalent of the DHC Beaver. It saw action against Algerian guerillas in the late 1950s, but the noisy P&W R-985 engine was a disadvantage as it could be heard approaching long before other aircraft.

Unfortunately the "Star of Switzerland" flew later than scheduled and by the time she had been towed out from the crowd, the sun had slipped behind the mountains. However, the firey and smokey start-up was spectacular, as was that sound on take-off
