Today the French Air Force aerobatic team Patrouille de France, performed a historic flyover at New York, USA. The last Patrouille de France flyover at New York was 31 years ago in 1986 where the team flew again above the skies of New York in occasion of 100 anniversary of Statue of Liberty.

The team flew over the symbol of France and USA friendship – Statue of Liberty which was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States dedicated on October 28, 1886.

The team arrived a few days ago at North America to perform flyovers and displays at various locations in USA and Canada.

Patrouille de France eight-ship Alpha Jet aircraft spread the national flag colors smoke over “Big Apple” - New York to mark the team's tour in USA.
