Time to ID an aircraft; Video . . .

I've seen this posted on several sites, it seems to stir a little
emotion deciding on the aircraft make.

Well, for a start an F.18 Hornet it certainly isnt!!!. An F.18 has a twin tail. I thought it was a Jaguar at first, but I think it MAY be an AMX. Any ideas???

The belly tank should make it more identifiable. I think it may be a Croatian or Serbian Air Force fighter, the name of which escapes me after a very large and excellent glass of Bourbon. Cheers.

JEM60,
You would be thinking of the Orao.

Soko J-22 Orao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The aircraft in the video is a Mirage F-1.

Intruder

Whilst we're on with recognition - anybody recognise the runway intruder 100 yds away?

Its a Mirage F1, I can tell from some of the features and having seen quite a few planes in my days.

No Guys, you're all wrong. If you freeze the frame at 23.05 Sec you'll crearly see that in fact, its a Mirage F1. My guess is that the Muppet in shot is French (judging by the uniform). Looks like a warm day, maybe Chad?

Just trying to help. (Traverses to corner to reclaim inclement weather attire)
