Patrouille de France are the best display team in the world at the moment I think. This is just fantastic!
Red Arrows eat your heart out!

yggorf & despegue,
You do realise that the Asterix skywriting is just a graphic representation?

Okay, they can fly okay. But this reminds me.

Type 'french military victories' (minus the inverted commas) into Google and hit 'I'm feeling lucky'.

Well,

One victory they had was to observe the Fairey Delta 2 rather closely, hey presto le Mirage qui exported + !

Well worth watching the first 30 seconds for conclusive proof the black Stig survived that tiny problemette leaving the aircraft carrier but swam the wrong way.

Talking French Military Victories...?
MightyGem,

<<Quelques victoires militaires francaises....It faut chercher en francais...>>
Les plus importantes victoires militaires franaises pendant un millnaire(disons de Charlemagne Napolon) ? - Yahoo! Questions/Rponses


796: La Tisza = succés décisif de Charlemagne sur les Avars,qui pourrissaient la vie de tte l'Europe Ctrale,à l'époque.(et,en 785,Detmold,contre Saxons).
Charlemagne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
841: Fontanetum = les petits-fils de Charlemagne se déchirent,ce qui va consacrer la "naissance"de la France et de l'Allemagne.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fontenay_(841)
922: Soissons = fin de la désastreuse guerre civile entre Ch.le Simple et un grand féodal (pas évident pour ce siècle,de trouver...)
1066: Hastings, autant victoire française (par l composition de l'armée) que normande.
1124: Bourgthéroulde, Louis VI repousse invasion germaine.
1214: Bouvines,no comment !
Battle of Bouvines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1382: Roosebeke, la coalition flamande anéantie...(ou Cassel,1328).
Battle of Roosebeke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1453: Castillon= dernière victoire pour bouter -cette fois c bon!-l'Anglois hors de chez nous.
Battle of Castillon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1515: Marignan, qui marque le début de la fin pour le "système suisse".
Battle of Marignano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1643: Rocroy, où le Grand Condé brise le mythe des tercios espagnols,qui vont aller déclinant ensuite.(et Les Dunes,1658,contre les mêmes);
Battle of Rocroi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1712: Denain = pas une vraie bataille rangée,mais Villars sauve la mise à Louis XIV et à l'Etat; sans ça,Eugène allait sur Paris...(too,Fleurus 1794,symbole de la Révolution conquérante).
Battle of Denain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1805: Austerlitz,modèle de stratégie avant,de tactique pendant (même si coalition hétéroclite en face).
Battle of Austerlitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not a great deal offered for the unpleasantness with Prussia in the 19th century and Verdun seems to be the principal suggestion for the 20th...
