Huit Alpha Jets de la Patrouille de France survolent New York et la statue de la Liberté

Huit Alpha jets de la Patrouille de France ont survolé New York le 9 juin 2026 pour marquer les 250 ans de la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis.

Les avions ont lâché des fumées bleues, blanches et rouges tout en descendant l’Hudson River. Ils sont d’abord passés près du One World Trade Center puis ont atteint Liberty Island où se trouve la statue de la Liberté, œuvre du sculpteur français Frédéric Bartholdi.

Les huit Alpha jets étaient accompagnés d’un avion de transport A400M. Au total, 85 militaires ont participé à cette opération baptisée «Liberté 250». Les pilotes avaient auparavant survolé l’académie militaire de West Point, à 80 km au nord de New York.

La mission vise à rappeler le soutien décisif de la France aux États-Unis pendant la guerre d’indépendance. D’autres survols sont prévus dans le Maryland, en Virginie, au-dessus de Washington et de nouveau à New York le 4 juillet.
