Photo The “Diamond” formation in the bend

About this photo

The Alphajets of the Patrouille de France begin a left turn to position themselves for the famous "Diamond" formation. The eight aircraft approach each other with pinpoint precision, their wings creating a perfectly symmetrical pattern in the gray sky of Chartres.

The audience watches with fascination as the group transforms: from a dynamic group in a climbing turn, the jets reposition themselves to create this iconic figure of the Patrouille, a symbol of elegance and harmony. The tricolor trails accentuate the perfect geometry of the formation, providing a spectacle that is both technical and aesthetic.

Each movement illustrates the pilots' total mastery: speed, distance, bank, and coordination are calculated to the nearest centimeter, giving the illusion that the aircraft are as one, gliding through the sky like a single, beautifully colored aerial unit.
