Does anyone remember a post on three French Mirage's doing a low flying exercise over the sea ..... a brilliant clip with "Stay awake" background music? .... :confused:
I've tried to search for it without luck ......

The video is branded 'X - Tape', maybe thats worth a search. Would do it myself, but i can just imagine what the search will come up with when the letter 'X' is involved. And not to sound like a spotter, but there are only 2 Mirage 2000s, the rest are Jags and F1's.

On a recent course full of French Mirage drivers, they told me that ALL photography is banned on their jets. No camcorders, nikons, digital & mobile phones. Seems like their airships were embarassed by the 'unauthorised' low flying.
I was in the aero club at Angers yesterday and noticed a big movie poster on the wall for something called "Les Chevaliers du Ciel", I think (Knights of the Air) - Top Gun heroes striding purposefully away from their ? Mirage? Must have been a quasi-recruiting movie cos the Armée de l'Air had their logo at the bottom. Do they have a hero shortfall?
