CommentMost unusual French show ! It flew into Athens yesterday from a very unusual place : Giza. Now the unusual-ness continues : it flies a typical holding pattern first to the West, lands and then as VALNT36 flies a similar pattern in the East. Tres bizarre ! What is this about ? Is it on a tour putting on this show in various potential customer countries ? If so, who can actually see this show ?
Update, 05 Feb : this joint military drill with Rafale jets is the obvious explanation for VALNTs flights.
