Paris Crowd Cheers Air Force Flyover During Scaled-Down Bastille Day Celebrations

Bastille Day celebrations in Paris have been scaled down this year due to the coronavirus, but the traditional flyover by the Air Force’s Patrouille de France jets remained, much to the delight of observers, as this video shows.

Footage here shows jets in an arrow formation trailing blue, white and red as they fly over the Louvre in Paris.

French President Emmanuel Macron rededicated the day’s events to those helping France’s fight against the coronavirus.
