Dress rehearsal

A French Air Force A400M Atlas tanker and eight French alpha jet fighters flew down the North River Tuesday morning, with the fighters trailing red, white and blue smoke. The flight originated at Stewart, circled the Statue and headed for Virginia. The planes are part of the Patrouille de France, the official aerobatic demonstration team of the French Air and Space Force and are on a US tour celebrating the 250th anniversary of US independence which will culminate back in NYC on July 4, according to a press release from the USMA.
