The aim of this airshow is not only to entertain, but also to strengthen the bond between the nation and its armed forces.

Initially, the Patrouille de France was the French army's sole ambassador at these airshows, but the program has continued to evolve and expand, introducing a number of new ambassadors each year. As a result, the Saint-Jean-de-Luz airshow has gradually added new ambassadors, with the air force, land forces and navy all represented.
