Meant to post this earlier and forgot. Apparently, the 2 Rafales had a mid-air collision during the air show. Photos indicate the lead's left missile pylon and vert stab and the wingman's right conard were damaged. Some parts reportedly fell and damaged a house. Both jets were able to land safely. Not sure how this will affect schedules.

One of the first major European international airshows of the season took place at BA709 Cognac-Châteaubernard in France. Organised by Fondation des Œuvres Sociales de l’Air (FOSA), the annual Meeting de l‘Air events are amongst the biggest airshows in France and showcase the equipment and capabilities of l’armée de l’Air et de l’Espace to the French public as well as civilian aviation organisations. The 2022 meeting at Cognac marked the return of these events after a three hiatus with a truly international line-up in the air and on the ground. A full review and image gallery can be found HERE.

I enjoyed the airshow at Cognac, even if it was boiling hot!

Below, you can find a 58-minute video showing you what was on at the show.
