sirrah Posted July 7 Posted July 7 The passion is always getting fueled Last Saturday we arived on our holiday address (close to Dieulefit, France). After unpacking and relaxing with one of the books I still had on my reading list ("Warthog", by William L. Smallwood) we were met by a French Rafale doing some super awesome low flying: Me hoping this being a low fly zone, but unfortunately it seems to have been a solo action (at least until now). The weather turned a bit grey, so we started looking for alternatives to hiking and playing around in one of the many streams here, and guess what; I stumbled upon this aircraft museum close by: Musée Européen de l'Aviation de Chasse Good times!

sirrah Posted July 9 Author Posted July 9 (edited) The museum I linked in my OP was very nice. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the neighborhood. Many different Mirage versions (even a Mirage IV), Jaguars, MiG-21 and 23, A-4, and lots more. The even have an airworthy Bronco! (which they were so kind to let me sit in). A full fidelity versiob of this thing would be awesome for DCS (I know about the unofficial mod).
