General

Base Aérienne 105 Evreux hosts three Escadres with C-160R Transalls and one composite Escadre flying Twin Otter, Cougar and Transall helicopters and aircraft.
Founded as a civil aerodrome in the 1920s the base saw extensive improvements in the 1930s, with French fighters and fighter-bombers being stationed here. During the German occupation Bf.109s, Ju.88s and Fw.190s were stationed here. After the war USAF took over control. After the USAF left the base was returned to the French Armée de l'Air.

Layout

Thanks to the impressive and varied history the air base features many dispersal areas. Most activity however nowadays is around the main ramp, east of the runway.

Getting There

The base is situated northeast of Evreux near Fauville village. You can take exit 17 from the A13 L'Autoroute de Normandie and take the D316 to Saint Vigor and follow that to Caër. Take the N154 southbound to Evreux and you will approach the base from the north.
Alternatively, you can take exit 19 of the A13 and follow the N154, or take exit 15 and the N13 when coming from the southeast.

Around the Airport

1N13

When runway 04 is in use aircraft fly pretty low over the Route National 13. Both sides of the runway extension can be used for photography.

2Aeroclub

At the aeroclub some small aircraft can be found. But it also gives a nice overview of the runway, and of the dispersals on the opposite side of the runway.

3Huest

Where the Route de Vernon - leading from Fauville - meets the eastern parts of Huest you'll also find the base fence. From here a good view can be had from all the proceedings. As everybody from the base also has a good view on you undisturbed viewing time can be limited!

4Sassey-Gauciel

Usually runway 22 is in use, with a good vantage point for photography and numbers being the road between Sassey and Gauciel, leading past 'short final' of runway 22. Respecting the sun's location you either stand on the eastern side (mornings) or on the western side (afternoons).
