L'Armée de l'Air ha cambiato nome ... e sta guardando allo spazio ... 

Quote

The French Air Force is no more. 
On Sept. 11, it became the French Air and Space Force, completing a process initiated by President Emmanuel Macron in July 2019 when he announced the creation of a space command.
A new logo, revealed Friday, accompanies the new name. 
The logo features a thin, curved line that runs above the word “armée” and then behind the word “air.” 
It represents the surface of the world, above which soars the stylized sparrow-hawk, which has been the logo for the Air Force for a decade. 
The bird’s position has been very slightly modified to make it look more like a hunter. 
And the phrase “& espace” has been added.
The Air and Space Force says the reason for the discreet changes in the logo is to underline the continuity of the mission rather than a revolution in the mission.

Armée de l’Air et de l’Espace ... è cominciato il ritiro dei vecchi C-135FR ...

Mardi 6 octobre 2020, une cérémonie « d’au revoir », présidée par le général de division aérienne Patrice Boisjot, commandant en second les Forces aériennes stratégiques, s’est tenue sur la base aérienne 125 d’Istres, au profit du premier Boeing C-135 n° 475 qui a effectué son ultime tour de piste le lendemain. 
Une page qui se tourne pour cet aéronef incontournable mis en service le 20 janvier 1964, laissant place à l’A330 MRTT (Multi Rôle Tanker Transport) Phénix. 
Un défilé aérien s’est déroulé en présence d’autorités militaires.

Armée de l’Air et de l’Espace  ... testato il missile ASMPA (notizia risalente ad un mese fa) ...

Quote

French strategic nuclear air-to-ground medium-range missile (ASMPA) was test fired for the first time from an Air Force Rafale jet yesterday.
The missile, developed by MBDA, was fired from a Dassault Aviation Rafale aircraft, as part of a program under the supervision of the French armaments agency, DGA, which took off from an air base in Cazaux on December 9.
In tests missiles used are “inert” - without a warhead but having all the electronics and functionalities of the real ASMPA.
Throughout its flight phase, the missile was monitored by DGA Missile Tests at Biscarosse, Hourtin and Quimper, with the participation of DGA flight tests ...

Le cerimonie di iniziazione presso l'Armée de l'Air... possono essere un po' dure...

Nel 2019 un pilota francese fu sottoposto a una cerimonia di iniziazione piuttosto dura dove fu legato, incappucciato, gettato su un furgoncino e portato in un luogo sconosciuto dai suoi commilitoni. In realtà lo avevano portato al poligono di tiro di Diane a nord della base aerea di Solenzara in Corsica dove fu legato ad uno dei bersagli a forma di elica. Gli allegri compagni cominciarono a volargli sopra la testa con i loro Mirage 2000 per poi sparare munizionamento reale con cannoni e bombe per circa 20 minuti. Secondo la testimonianza del "target umano" i colpi caddero a circa 500 m da dove lui era stato legato.

Il pilota ha presentato una denuncia e il processo è in corso.

Pare che episodi di nonnismo siano ben presenti della forza aerea francese e che alcuni piloti abbiano dato le dimissioni a causa del clima pesante che aleggia in alcune basi.

Un aereo civile Fouga Magister è precipitato in mare durante l'airshow di Lavandou, sulla costa mediterranea. Il velivolo non era dotato di seggiolino eiettabile e il pilota è deceduto nell'impatto con il mare. L'airshow è stato annullato.
