    Hi,

    I’m currently in Bordeaux. Seeing huge amount of jets not sure if they are military or not. Seeing 10-12 per day, some go off in formations. Pretty cool and sounds amazing. Does anyone know more information on this? Is it the French military? Thanks

    There's a big French Air Force base at Cazaux. If memory serves, it's also home to a Singaporean training squadron.
    Given that you are seeing some formation flights, I'd hazard that military training is ongoing as Civilian/Commercial types rarely undertake formation flights.
    If you can grab a photo or give a time, I'm sure someone can narrow down what you saw.

    You might see something familiar on the Cazaux military flight tracker

    thanks for the response. Yes that is exactly it as I got speaking with a local earlier who said it’s a large military base.

    A great place - I was at an air show there many years ago. There were Singapore A-4 Skyhawks based there then - since replaced by M346 Masters.
