Most, if not all, of that clip comes from the movie, Sky Fighters. It's the French version of TopGun. I'm pretty sure those are Mirage jets.

Yep, Mirages with an occasional AlphaJet sneaking in there. Nice footage.

I never did any training with the French during my short service.

I have to say that youtube has done as much or more to change some of my un-informed opinions about the French war fighter than anything else.

If nothing else it looks like their pilots are allowed to have a REAL good time.

Very nice footage. -1 for taking another cool jet video and setting it to really gay music.

I guess the film maker was secure in his masculinity, and he chose the music because it fit the footage. Although, some Metalica might have served better--

Very nicely filmed--

Huh? we're talking fighter & attack aircraft in that video... that kind of music is befitting for chopper videos, not fighter/attack! ... but what do you expect from the French...

I'm pretty sure someone just took the footage and mixed in their own music. The original doesn't use that song.

Okay, this shows I have watched that movie too many times (but I like fighter porn), but I think that music is from the scene when the shit hot pilot main character takes up his girlfriend to be in an Alpha jet. The Mirage scenes don't have music that sucks as much as that does... ;)

Very nice video. But one question: Is it normal to advance the throttle that quickly?

T-34 and T-45 both have fuel control units that make sure you don't flood the engine, and they both have a way to turn it off so you can overheat it if you choose to do so.

I assume any other jet has it too.
