The Royal Air Force brought out a stunning display of red, white, and blue to celebrate America’s 250th.

The US Navy Blue Angels also performed a flyover over the procession of ships on the Hudson River to commence the International Aerial Show.

Shortly after, the French Air Force’s precision aerobatic demonstration team Patrouille de France took to the sky and left a trail of red, white and blue clouds which lingered in the air over the waters.
