The skies above Chartres welcome a rare and historic patrol of the French Naval Air Force, composed of four iconic aircraft. Leading the way is the Bréguet Atlantic, imposing its massive and robust silhouette, followed by the Bréguet Alizé, before the Fouga Zéphyr and the Morane-Saulnier MS.760 Paris complete this unique formation. Together, these aircraft tell the story of a French maritime aviation that is at once strategic, technical, and heritage-based.

The Naval Air Force is the aeronautical branch of the French Navy, specializing in ship-based missions: maritime surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, reconnaissance, and power projection. Since its inception, it has combined technology, endurance, and operational know-how to protect France's interests at sea and in the air.

In the skies above Chartres, this patrol offers a blend of history and virtuosity: from the robust Atlantic to the refined MS.760, each aircraft illustrates a facet of the Naval Air Force, while the Zephyr recalls the pioneering era of carrier-based jet aviation. The synchronization and visual composition of the formation captivate the public, offering a unique aerial display where power, elegance, and heritage meet.
