In one photo, I thought I was seeing double. But it was just a mirage.
SirLoremIpsum@reddit
Lol
Responsible-Speed341@reddit
JK these are awesome photos. Happy Bastille Day.

I didn’t know they still had Mirages flying active duty ! I used to live near a Belgian airbase that stationed Mirage
MichiganRedWing@reddit
Saw one do a low pass over Strasbourg yesterday!
ReturnOfTheSaint14@reddit
Yep,the only active variants of the Mirage 2000 in French service are the 2000D-RMV and the 2000-5F,and obviously the trainer variants as well
I'm really happy they're still flying those and they're upgraded with up-to-date stuff
usgapg123@reddit
I really enjoyed the air show! All the aircraft were stunning, especially the A400M.
I wish they had an Air France a350 or another commercial jet fly by though.
DirtierGibson@reddit
There is a video dropped a couple of years afo of one of their A350 flying with the Patrouille de France.
pantograph23@reddit
Can anyone please tell me what's the name of the plane with that huge radar (?) dish on its back?
Dr_Chat@reddit
That's an E-2 Hawkeye, a radar and AEW plane mainly operated at sea
Molotov_Cockatiel@reddit
1 bigger in fact, E-3!
ObservantOrangutan@reddit
Great photos. Not often you can get Rafales, Mirages, Eurofighters, F16s and F18s in the same flyby.
Intergalatic_Baker@reddit
Where’d those two come from, I wasn’t aware they operated them… today at least.
davidfliesplanes@reddit
F-18C is from Switzerland, F-16AM is from Belgium. Eurofighters are from UK, Italy, Spain, Germany.
KebabGud@reddit
strange not a single F-35
Guess they mostly just invited their direct neighbours
ConstableBlimeyChips@reddit
The Belgians do have eight F-35's, but they're all in the US for training.
DirtierGibson@reddit
There always are allied units represented at the Bastille Day parade, not just French ones.
GITS75@reddit
1 Belgian F-16 and one Swiss F-18 😉
NotLeeroy@reddit
Those are really nice pics, the two seater variant of the mirage 2000 just look soo good
indianstripper@reddit
Am genuinely glad to see this post and everything with it, thank you ☺️💜
HenkDeVries6@reddit
Was the KC-135FR not supposed to do one final demo sortie before phase-out?
Alexarp@reddit
It did.
country_bogan@reddit
Does France operate F-16s and F-18s?
bbmarmotte@reddit (OP)
F16 was belgium, F18 from switzerland, typhoon were english and spanish, european power ;)
GITS75@reddit
Prog said Typhoon came from Germany, Great-Britain, Italy and Spain.

GITS75@reddit
You're welcome. At least you didn't title" French Air Force" while having Rafale M and E-2C Hawkeye in pics.
Intergalatic_Baker@reddit
Snazzy of them.
482Cargo@reddit

Thomas-Rapidum@reddit

Baguette powa ;)
AkaDaCat69@reddit
Hey! Vlad! Are you paying attention?
Ok-Introduction-6046@reddit
The Rafale is so cool looking.
Grin-Guy@reddit
There is something really cool with the 5th one, being red on the left due to the residual smoke.
And I’m not a really patriotic kind of guy, but 14th with the heli and the flag ? Damn ! Love it.
And the last one with the Patrouille. Great shot.
bbmarmotte@reddit (OP)
Tx a lot
