    Two military aerobatic jets are performing a crossing maneuver at an airshow, trailing colored smoke in blue, white, and red — the colors of the French tricolor flag. The aircraft are identifiable as belonging to the Patrouille de France, France's official aerobatic display team, with 'ARMÉE DE L'AIR' markings visible on the wings. The jets appear to be crossing paths in opposite directions, creating a dramatic visual effect against an overcast sky.
    An aerobatic display team performs a burst or breakaway maneuver in an overcast sky, with multiple jet aircraft diverging outward from a central point. The aircraft are emitting colored smoke trails in blue, white, and red, consistent with a national colors display. The formation and color scheme strongly resemble the Patrouille de France or a similar national aerobatic team.
    An air show featuring a formation of Blue Angels jets performing aerobatics, leaving white contrails across a partly cloudy sky. A large crowd of spectators watches from behind a red metal barrier fence, with white event tents visible in the background. Several audience members are wearing ear protection and capturing the performance on their phones.
    A U.S. Navy Blue Angels jet aircraft, numbered '6', is captured in flight against a partly cloudy blue sky. The aircraft is painted in the iconic Blue Angels blue and gold color scheme with 'U.S. NAVY' and 'Blue Angels' markings clearly visible on the fuselage. The landing gear appears to be deployed, suggesting a low-speed demonstration maneuver during an airshow.
    A military jet aircraft, consistent with a U.S. Navy Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet based on its blue and gold livery, is captured in a near-vertical climb maneuver. Both afterburners are visibly ignited, glowing orange-red, and vapor condensation trails are forming along the fuselage due to high-speed aerodynamic pressure. The aircraft is viewed from below at a dramatic angle against a partly cloudy blue sky.
    A U.S. Navy Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet is captured in a steep climbing maneuver during an airshow performance.
