Off topic : If non-🇪🇺 countries can take part in the Eurovision, I do not see why Canada should not be part of the European Union. I would also like to thank Québec for their alphajets. They may come in handy again for training the next class of Ukrainian pilots before they move on to the F-16.

“Already 24 🇺🇦 [aspiring pilots] have undergone initial training in the 🇬🇧. The [RAF] hopes to train 20 per year. The trainee pilots will then leave for France in spring 2025, where they will continue their training for six months on faster aircraft (Alphajets, also used by the Patrouille de France).

They have 3 JF-17s, which are the only plausible air defense tools (trainers, ancient jets like F-7s and Alphajets, and some ancient SHORAD, mostly Soviet with a dozen Rolands)

What do you notice about the French troops here at the start of the parade yesterday?

Rappelons un POTUS qui rendait un hommage mérité a la supériorité aérienne des troupes de l’Union avant la capture des aéroports autour de Gettysburg, ils auraient fait quoi tes alphajets hein ! Sans les aeroports de Fort Mc Henry

They don’t like the real parades either— too diverse!

Not sure about my data, but the low-end's cost-effectiveness is unbeatable - though operations and number of pilots might be a problem, even worse for attack helicopters. This hints at a case for jet trainers... Let's give the Patrouille de France's Alphajets to Ukraine !

Two Dornier AlphaJets left #YFC this afternoon then executed a manoeuvre over the CFB Gagetown range. Presumably in aid of equipment training for troops in the ground.

I didn't get my phone up in time to catch the Red Arrows before their flyby was done (I hadn't fully booted my brain yet), so here's the French Air & Space Force's aerobatics team, the Patrouille de France.

Lange her.
Ausserdem: Alphajets? Über Jugoslawien? Eher nicht. Schätze du meinst Recce Tornado und "Wild Weasel"-Tornados?

Ils s’entraînent beaucoup à La Fare, pour diluer le bruit et éviter que ce soit toujours Salon, Pelissanne et Lançon qui ramassent. Mais je suis d’accord avec vous, c’est anachronique: bruit, pollution, coût. Les Alphajets sont en bout de course, il va falloir les remplacer, ce qui va coûter un peu…

Whereas this is a TopAces (a PMC) aircraft. The German Air Force(Luftwaffe) itself no longer flies AlphaJets.

On our way back, we even had the pleasure of being overflown by “La Grise” (cause she was never painted).
The very last flying example in the world, now based at Salon-de-Provence Air Base.
A real piece of aviation history.
And of course, the usual lunch-hour flyby from the PAF in their Alphajets!

Sur les alphajets c'est central le fumigène de démonstration non? Pour le coup y avait des choses de fixée sous le point d'emport en aile.

You can watch the Patrouille de France's Alphajets practice their precise formations near Salon-de-Provence. This tradition dates back to 1931.
