Old TV programe
I think it was called "The Aeronauts". Was produced in France and had English dialogue over-dubbed when shown here. Seem to remember it was a regular on Saturday mornings and during school holidays.

The pilots were Michel Tanguy and Ernest Laverdure.
Their Mirage 3s were based at Dijon but they got into scrapes in various places including the aircraft carrier Foch.

Aeronauts
I seem to remember just about every week there was an emergency requiring a Mirage to go into a barrier net - ( must have been their best bit of stock footage ) very much like the Jacques Cousteau films,
" Zuddenly, Phillipe wass in graaave daaanger..."
About the same time as Robinson Crusoe - nothing much happened in that either, but it did have a memorable theme tune.
What a pity we can't make a modern version of Captain Pugwash, with all the urban myths included - any backers ?!

Seaman Staines.

Available on DVD, unfortunately only in the original French - so if your language skills are up to it...........! Amazon France or FNAC are your best bet.
It was semi remade as a feature film 18 months ago (different characters, but the idea's the same) under the same name - Les Chevaliers du Ciel.
I've got both (I remember the original from my childhood too) and really enjoyed it second time around
