France Air Force / Naval Aviation OOB 2015

[ClaudeJ]

Hey there,

here's an overview of France Air Force OOB 2015.
It was originally posted it on Baloogan's Wiki and I'm salvaging it here, for reference's sake.
Naval Aviation is from France Navy OOB 2015.

I'll take any advice on how it could be made more convenient.

France Air Force OOB 2015




Foreword

This is not an exhaustive study of the Armée de l'Air.
It doesn't mention training units nor light transport units.

Please note that aircraft figures are aircraft "en parc", the actual amount of operational aircraft, "en ligne", is of course lower.

It's estimated that 30 to 60 % are available on peace footing within continental France, while 95 % availability is what the units are aiming for once deployed.

As for the proficiency, I would recommend setting it to Veteran as the Armée de l'Air acquired a lot of practical experience in Afghanistan, Libya and, of course, Africa.

hello Claude,

thanks for compiling and sharing these information for CMO, it's very interesting and helpful!
unfortunately the link to SU_FranceAB.zip doesn't work (it's the same for SU_FranceArmy.zip), would you provide another link please ?

Best Regards
Bastien
