It's video of Swiss Mirage 3 in the Alps. Been posted here before, by errr me.
Would be nice if people could be a bit more descriptive than a simple 'Watch this' - it'd save a few wasted downloads.

Sorry folks, particularly Smoketoomuch. Just thought I was doing you a favour. It was so easy for me to view, you see, even out here in the backward, rural Midlands. (Launches into Broadband sales pitch.)

Zoom, no probs - just me being cranky 
It is a great vid, love the Matterhorn ascent 11 mins in, and I'm sure there are people that haven't seen it.
If you search on the mil forum for a thread titled 'nice video' there are a few good ones on there. Hopefully the links still work.
There are few more great French videos kicking around on the net too. Google might reveal 'em.

Great video. Extremely envious. No wonder fast jet pilots have an ego as big as the stripes on their cheap suit.
Envy is such an evil characteristic.
Anyway, back to my 120kts below 10,000

Very nice video and worh the wait, but I am not sure why they got all excited and started shouting at each other when they appeared to be pretending to shoot down what was probably just a passing Easyjet on it's way to Moblo.
Do fighter pilots always do this or was it just for the movie?

If thats an easyjet on its way to molbo or wherever then it flys a good notch and crank on its way there.
Just because its conning doesnt mean its an airliner. Especially not when the jets are being controlled onto a number of "airliners" by their controller.
Fighter pilots usually have harder intercepts than easy flight 651 to ibiza.

The Swiss often practise CAP 'n Tap in very limited airspace that is adjacent to civil airspace. It's common during these sorties for Red Air (operating under GCI c ontrol) to fly a similar profile to an airliner before pitching into the fight. It mixes things up a little and makes for some interesting set-ups. It could well be that this is what the video shows.
