Built by
Dassault-Breguet and Dornier, the Franco-German Alpha Jet is a twin-engine
trainer aircraft with a tandem two-seat configuration that is easy and safe to
fly. Its design is as light and simple as possible. In 1981, the performance
and reliability of the Alpha Jet made it a natural replacement for the Fouga
Magisters used by the Patrouille de France, the aerobatic display team of the
French Air Force. With its excellent flight characteristics and the absence of
dangerous responses during spins, stalls or transonic flight, it is ideally
suited for aerobatic displays. A total of 512 Alpha Jets were produced, of
which 329 were exported. They are in service with the air forces of ten
countries.
The Alpha Jets of the
Patrouille de France were adorned with a new livery to celebrate the 70th
anniversary of the aerobatic team. The livery shows seven aircraft, one per
decade, flying in formation.
The tail takes up the
current design of one of the identities created and inspired by the Athos [the
pilots Patrouille de France – ed. note] helmets of 1983,” livery designer Régis
Rocca explained. “At the top of the tail, we find the official logo of the 70th
anniversary of the Patrouille de France which ‘signs’ this special project.
