Actually, I live in Charlotte, NC these days, so it was only a six hour drive, but worth it to see the PAF. I'll be back home on Long Island for the Memorial Day weekend air show, and we have the Thunderbirds this year, so I wouldn't have driven to Maxwell just for them. I'm downloading pictures now, and have a ton to go through, but I think I got some good shots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Antoine Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Nice pics, with clear blue sky all the way it seems. Wondering about the 400 show, I've to admit that I've never seen the aircraft so far.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
angus Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 very nice pics, you must have a good camera and you know how to use it. We can see the A400 every day in Toulouse :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

82Whitey51 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I caught them out at NAS Pensacola yesterday for the morning practice session. I was suitably impressed with their large formation work.

Murph Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) The Trilat has been cool to watch; yesterday morning they did a Raptor demo, then the Rafale demo, and then the PAF show, all within 50 minutes and without the usual ramp crowding of thousands of people. The PAF show was real treat, It's always impressive when a demo team get 8 jets together in close formation. Regards, Murph Edited April 22, 2017 by Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stratospheremodels Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) They came to Montreal too, actually i was Soooo frustrated about this one as i had never seen the Patrouille de France and i missed them... , as i learned about it in a very short article in the newspaper of the same day that i did only read that evening... there was no mention of the time when they came, and no mention anywhere that i read or heard of the day before... which is a pity. Actually they only flew over Old Montreal (as a tribute to the 375th anniversary of its foundation, this year), they did not land at Dorval as far as a know. They also mention they overflew various parts of the Abitibi region in the Quebec north shore. My guess is that they may possibly have landed at St-Hubert airport to refuel (not familiar with the range of the Alpha's, but Bagotville is fairly far north), which is where most visiting foreign military aircrafts go when they come to the Montreal region, since St-Hubert is a military base.

Stratospheremodels Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Ya, indeed, i missed them, i thought they were coming back to Montreal from what i just found on some other news report from the local press after reading this, but looks like their first passage over Montreal went completely incognito at the start of their tour, or else what the press reported in the newspaper was actually their 2nd and final passage over Montreal, because that's the time when i heard the news (too late). Oh well... maybe one day i will go to see them in France. Stephane. Edited May 31, 2017 by Stratospheremodels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
