A couple of passengers have been scared (or irritated) by a maritime patrol aircraft doing a couple of low passes from behind, and alongside their cruise ship, somewhere offshore Bermudas.

They obviously had no idea about anything (probably the first time they were out at sea, by the way) - also reading the various comments from social medias
Is it necessary to explain on that forum that it's the daily job of those people, who apart from patrolling the high seas for our common defence, also rescue a lot of people lost at sea ? this Falcon 50M of the French Navy is commonly used to spot quickly drifting life rafts or even isolated swimmers away in the ocean, to vector helicopters or other assets towards them. The low passes were done according to the ocean rules.
To the contrary of say the Breguet Atlantic or the P3 Orion, those Falcon 50M (FN) have no camouflage, just a basic white livery.
By the way, this aircraft was not very low
