On June 9, 2026, the Patrouille de France, the French Air Force's aerobatic team, executed a notable flyover above New York City. This event served as a precursor to the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence.
The flyover was designed to symbolize the enduring relationship between France and the United States, highlighting historical ties that date back to the American Revolution.
As the anniversary approaches, a series of events are expected to unfold, celebrating this significant milestone in American history.
