Base Training at Châteaurou, France
Here's an Air France B747-400 (Jumbo) just touching down after doing a 1000ft circuit at Châteaurou (CHR) in central France. We shared the airfield for about 4 hours, nicely co-ordinating our movements so that one was always touching down while the other was downwind in the circuit.
The Air France pilots stopped for lunch and had their First Class meals outside in the lovely sunshine. We had a sandwich, pack of crisps and a piece of fruit in a goodie bag while circuit bashing...
