The B-17 used in the motion picture Memphis Belle is a permanent project of the AJ-BS group. During the show, dozens of vintage aircrafts are assembled from Europe and the US for display and flight demonstrations. The French air force usually demonstrates some new air capacity (paratroops, etc) as well as overflight by the Patrouille De France, the french acrobatic team (similar to the Blue Angels, Thunderbirds in the US). Also, Airbus or other aircraft manufacturers will fly their latest commercial aircrafts, such as the A-300 series of jetliners.
