Whew! What a video here! Those guys are clearly friggin' insane! But it sure was cool to watch! You know they have to be darn good to be able to pull off those stunts! Great vid! Ken Palmer

awesome vid thanks for letting us fly along :)

One of the most beautiful jets ever built

Amazing footage.

MSgt. Matt Nelson, USAF, is impressed by this video.. Strong work, gentlemen...

beautiful video !! Serena

Oh man, great post, completely badass! Earns a Salute from this old USAF Vet. =\*/=

Fantastic. All I can say is that French pilots have balls of steel!!!

wow this song reminds me when i was a kid. =( good old days

I love it

Mirage F1, beautiful jet ,one of the best interceptors ever built and still in use for their primary role after 33yrs. Cant tell from the markings who's operating them, but these pilots rock at low level..

awesome vid:)

Great Video

At long last.... Some REAL flying. Taking it to the ragged edge. What kind of buzz must it be to on a ride like that. Book me a seat! Make it four...

Damn...you know that is some seriously hard and dangerous flying...at those speed and those low altitudes...the plane is shaking like an epileptic with palsy at a rave party.

always a fun to see those beasts

Thanks for not putting some 009 Soundsystem crap on this video!

Awesome, thx!!!

those are some skillful pilots!

a truly awesome clip, thanks Armée de Aire or whatever you call it

i love it!!!

nice! respect

that takes balls of titanium... frickin crazy!!!

glad to see avation hooliganism is alive an well in the forces!

one's of the best pilot ever...must have big ball to do that !!!!

nice vid

nice flight

Awesome

Wicked. Mirage F.1C, very cool.

very nice, cool video guys!

COOL!!! GJ))))))))))))!!!

yeah i was deer hunting in south texas and a personal jet, i believe, flew right over my head at a VERY low pass, maybe 60 feet in the air.. and it was natural for me to duck.. i never saw it coming either.. pretty cool sight though

alright, you convinced me, I'll take one.

hahahaha! the dog at the beginning lol

i totaly agree with you. for example you fly very low over the grnd and a wind pushes your plane down with a speed of 300 - 400 knots you almost have no chance to save your plane or bail out for a couple of hundredth seconds

I'm Dutch, and our government once gave me a submarine to play around with.

The pilots are crazy enough to fly at 3-4 feet from the ground and flying at 200mph. For the people who is complaining about the song,don't watch it if you don't like it.

damn saw one 2day. went right over my headd with such an amazing speed :0 !

cool :)

What a beautiful aircraft was the Mirage F1 ...

The Rafale is such a sexy aircraft.

Oh snap!

i was at an airshow and they was the airbus...some helicopters...some other planes....and then the rafale took off and it was like...unbeleivable the sound, people think an average commertial jet is loud, wait till you hear them lol!

wow, that's why i want to be a pilot

Aircrafts...what a beautiful thing....

yeah this thing was so fast it def broke the sound barrier bc i never heard it or saw it till it passed me over my head but i did hear the sonic boom about 3 secs before it passed and i thought it was my dad that shot something but i figured it wasnt him bc it shook the ground.. but this thing was piss my pants loud and VERY fast..

Nice.....

I only kept watching because it has "The Kids Aren't Alright" by The Offspring (which happens to be a f***ing awesome song, btw). ^-^U

Man, you know there are all kinds of alarms goin off in that cockpit... Ha!

gotta love aircraft that can use 'ground effect' to good advantage.

nice song

God save the Mirages... Beautiful machines

Mom: Wake up... Me: No... Mom: Okay then.. (Jet flies by) HOLY FUCK!

No, cuz airforce pilots are trained to have a low flying experience to avoid radar detection in some cases, unless the area has anti aircraft guns. and this aircraft has a built-in Terrain Hugging system which the pilot can set it to keep a certain altitude cuz its main role is air-ground attacks. peace

Very good video. Just have to mute and make my own jet sound. SHSHSHUUU

i like how the planes are so loud they act like the plane just made a 9.9 magnitude earth quake man hmm cool plane... holy crap DUCK!!!!!

@nathanheal. They're Mirage F1's in Chad (Africa). French exercise/ deployment.

This footage is crazy!! Somebody had a serious craving for speed to be flying that low haha! But I bet it felt awesome! I thought it was cool flying in my little DA20 Katana at 90mph 100ft over water. Flying at 600mph 10ft over the desert takes that rush to a whole nother' level!!!

thats crazy

music killed it!

epic

omg probaly best pilots ever the fly so low with out the landing gear out

Now there's a way to piss off the locals.

I knew that french women were beuatiful, but these F1's are gorgeus and a mean war machines, i could never see myself as having francophobia

nice frechs crazys

@jwastag this is the french army with mirage 2000. French army have military base in tchad, this video was made in tchad ;-)

They guys gotta have nerves of steele ! one slip and they are a ball of flames

Oh got it. I thought it was just a Carrier Variant DAssault Mirage though, I've never noticed that Rafales have canards on them (the leading edge wings you spoke of). Thanks though.

We need to hear the sound these planes make!!

Like the song but I like the sound of roaring jet engines better.

its a reflex, and the sound is very very very very very high from that close

Damn! Israelis got some mad skills!

@magnum222ish Right. They aren't french rather. In France there is no so desert-looking, wide and flat space like in this movie. But (i am not sure) France still may have air bases in Notrh Africa (Algeria, Tunesia) or former french colonies may have european planes.

So low!! That could hit my forehead!! XD

It's ROCK!

well now that is just standard runway cleaning procedure

guess what they do when there is nothing to bomb?.... I hope one day I can be in one of these to feel the supersonic speed, and the thrill of being upside down!!!

Nice vid whats the song called??

A venerable plane...still in service after all these years...French design is made to last !

its the dutch guy =D

uhhh what a rush ... I'm joining the AF.... to bad that they don't let you do this kind of stuff :)

LOL I GOT UR NOSE

French have some batshit crazy pilots =)

thanks !!

at 0:51 Pilot says: "I think i'm going for sum pizza,..."

genial

1:13 and 2:10 is sick!

Offspring - the kids aren't alright

kidz aren't alright - offspring

Offspring - The kids are not alright.

I know they are mad... but hey theyre in remote areas desert etc.... and ohhhh i bet they feel awesome bushcutting like that ...its cool

The little wings are canards I think.

1.56 How cool is that guys job??! :D

imagine a b-1 doing that over soviet airspace if there ever were a third world war in the airplane's pre nuclear disarmament days. like a cruise. id thing green paint really pays off there :)

Imagine getting hit in the face by the fuel rods in the front of the plane at that speed.

Must be nice to play all day long!

02:10 amazing!!!!!!!

at 0:41 i think thats their way of cleaning the runway =D

Chuck Norris doesn't need a fighter jet to do that

@PrgrMan Hi, 1:48 is not the golden eagle, it's just the mask manufacturer's logo :D "Ulmer, France" haha. To be honest i really believe that many of these videos splice bits of French of Chad in 1986 and SAAF in Angola. Otherewise there'd be just too many inconsistencies.
