Looks like the French Demo team moving onto Wallops Island later this morning..
I think the Thunderbirds will probably base there also later this week.

I see AF-1 back to Andrews overnight about 0130 local so no CAP's today.

They did nice flyover of Philly Independence Hall before heading on down River.
Noticed they were kind of low on the river
They hit NYC and West Point also before coming South. They must carry as much smoke material as fuel 🤣🤣

Patrouille de France Flyover of Philadelphia

Jun 9, 2026 PHILADELPHIA
As one of the first official displays of their Liberté 250 tour of the United States, the French Air & Space Force's Patrouille de France (French Aerobatic Patrol) performed a series of flyovers of major cities and landmarks on Tuesday June 9, 2026. The team arrived in the United States, having landed at the New York Stewart International Airport near New Windsor, New York, and embarked on flyovers of the United States Military Academy in West Point, before flying down the Hudson River and doing a flyover of New York City and the Statue of Liberty (which, as you should know, was a gift from France and dedicated in 1886 - making 2026 the 240th anniversary of its dedication).

Following their flyover of NYC, the team progressed down to Philadelphia for a flyover of Independence Hall, as seen in this video. The eight jets did the flyover and resume their flight from Stewart down to Wallops Island, located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The Patrouille de France's Liberté 250 tour of the United States includes airshow appearances at three airshows in Maryland (Ocean City, NAS Patuxent River, and Baltimore) along with participation in a massive flyover in New York City on July 4. The team will return back to France following that flyover and as of the date of this video's publishing, they will not be participating in the Jones Beach Airshow.

This may actually be nearly exclusive coverage of the Philadelphia flyover from my location; the New York flyovers were heavily publicized and there was almost no coverage of the Philly flyover.

1. Missed it! Maybe I'll catch the Thunderbirds tomorrow.

2. I'm in Alexandria. Today's flyover was over Philadelphia.

Tomorrow, at some time, the Thunderbirds will be flying over ZIP code 20500. That's in downtown DC. There's a lot of construction in that ZIP code. PopVille, WTOP, and ARLnow will have the time. So will the scanner listeners.

And good evening.

3. Hi neighbor (I'm in Alexandria too). It mentioned Wallops Island.

Somehow I thought they would fly over DC (yes I know it's restricted but...).

Thanks for the info on the Thunderbirds.

4. That Mid-Atlantic Mil Air scanner listening crowd will know where everything is.

Added: the last time there was a flyover of ZIP code 20500, for King Charles, maybe, the F-16s, going from north to south, flew DIRECTLY over Del Ray and Old Town. I happened, by chance, to be outside when they went past.

You could not miss them. They were making a slow turn to the left, toward PG County.

Arlington Cemetery has flyovers all the time.

See ya.
