Near the Tarmac, in Maupertus-sur-Mer (Manche), the show will soon start. Children are impatient, laptops in hand, ready to immortalize the moment. “We see the planes closely. It’s impressive”launches one of them. In a millimeter choreography, the Patrol of France goes into a flash. Upon arrival on the Tarmac, the pilots are welcomed triumphantly.
VIPs are children from the Cherbourg districts and sick children supported by the Dreams association. They were chosen for a brief with the hunting pilots and their mechanics, just out of the cockpit.
“It is the essence of our profession, to go in contact with people, the French, a fortiori of children. We are privileged to live things within the Patrol of France. And the idea is to go give a little bit of this dream that we live in everyone”, Share Julien Rezé, fighter pilot of the Patrol of France.
“The patrol of France, really allows us to make people believe in their dreams and say that everything is possible. We have believed it and we are there to pass them this message”adds Thomas Léonardis, also fighter pilot of the Patrol of France. Thursday, July 31, the show will continue in the Norman sky from 4 p.m.
