Under the bright skies of Provence, Air Base 701 has been the operational home of the Patrouille de France since 1964. Here, women and men come together around a shared commitment to excellence as a team. Pilots train rigorously, mechanics prepare the Alpha Jets and ensure their reliability, and technical teams coordinate every stage of each mission with precision.
