Patrouille de France recreates its collection for Bell & Ross

On July 26, during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games, the French Acrobatic Patrol will perform a very special show over the Seine. To celebrate the fourth year of cooperation and an extraordinary year for the PAF, Bell & Ross took the opportunity to organize a wonderful photo shoot with the nine pilots of this elite unit. In this photo, they rhythmically repeat the mythical “music”. Just like musicians or Formula 1 drivers, they rehearse the gestures during the flight before each flight. Music is the guarantee of precision and excellence for these ambassadors of the Air and Space Forces.

Considered one of the most precise and beautiful acrobatic formations in the world, the Patrouille de France has been flying for more than 70 years. Every year she continues to impress new generations of spectators. This year, it will be even more impressive than in previous years, especially during its flight for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Last year, we discovered on the case back of the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 the silhouettes of the five legendary aircraft that have flown since the Patrouille was created. This edition was created to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the famous acrobatic Patrouille.

This French-Swiss watchmaking company has been dedicated to aviation, and more specifically aviation instruments, since its creation by Carlos Rosillo and Bruno Belamich, which is one of its main sources of inspiration. “La Patrouille de France and Bell & Ross are two institutions with a common history. This connection is much stronger than the simple association of two names. Just as the aerial presentation assumed a perfect symbiosis between the team members, since 2021 these two trajectories have crossed and sometimes even merged, Detailed description Bell & Ross. More than just a partnership, the Bell & Ross brand is closely tied to the values ​​​​conveyed by this prestigious unit and becomes an ambassador of the French Air Force, responsible for embodying the expertise and excellence of the French Army. . »
