I see on the BBC News website that the Bastille Day celebrations in Paris included a flypast. The first phase (on the BBC video) consists of a Rafale - obviously from the Armee de L'Air but it is flanked by an F16 and a Tornado; neither of which are in the FAF inventory. President Trump is there as is Angela Merkel, so the aircraft could be USAF and Luftwaffe. I maybe drawing an incorrect conclusion based on flimsy evidence, so does anyone know whose the F16 and Tornado are?
