French air campaign – Mali

Well everything is happening so quickly that I don’t think the forum has caught up with events yet!

A dedicated thread for information about this air campaign so we don’t clutter up the Rafale thread.

Firstly this new development:

Britain to send military transport planes to assist Mali operation

The UK is going to lone the use of two C17, considering France doesn’t have the rapid strategic airlift capability Britain does it is a very useful way of helping out.

The flexibility of 99 Squadron never fails to amaze me!
