A Rafale by any other name...

Today we either begin or continue a series we like to call 'Now there's sumthin' you don't see every day'.

The image below is from the 2026 La Ferté-Alais Air Show, called Le Temps des Hélices, held at the Cerny airfield in France during the last weekend of May. This year's show marked the public debut of a newly restored Caudron C.430 Rafale, and whut-yer-seein' here is a French 'heritage flight' performed by this little ship and a Dassault Rafale operated by Escadron de Transformation Rafale 3/4 'Aquitaine' (ETR 3/4), the French Air and Space Force's conversion unit for the type.

Profitez… et n’oubliez jamais notre passé...
