I’ve seen PdF perform, they are pretty impressive in the maneouvers they execute.

It is worth mentuoning though they do all that in trainer jets, not actual fighter jets. Which is not that cool. I would loved it more of they would fly actual fighters.

For that I'd say it's that France is saving its actual fighters for combat units because it doesn't has enough jets, unlike the US

Never heard anybody mention them while in the US they seem to be common and well known.

As well as private aviation has a different standing in the US in my experience.

Saying "not a thing" might have been to absolute, but my impression is that flight shows are much more known and I would assume more common in the US.
