The Patrouille de France flight demonstration team is currently flying a North American tour in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the United States entering World War I. They are the oldest flight demonstration team in the world with their first performance taking place in 1931. The team uses eight Dassault-Breguet/Dornier Alpha Jets with red, white and blue smoke generators. Their appearance here at Mather Field in Sacramento is the only show scheduled on the West Coast.

The schedule included two T-38 Talons from Beale AFB and the Airbus A400M Atlas transport from the French Air Force, with the Patrouille de France as the stars. The static aircraft included two C-130 Hercules, a UH-60 Blackhawk, a T-39 Sabreliner, and a World War II Yak. After the A400M finished its routine, it was also opened up to the public.
