When it comes to low flying, NOBODY beats the French in their Mirages, ive seen a lot of "low fly" videos by the US, UK, AUST etc...but the french just have it down to a pristine fine art. Love their work!!!
Dassault have programmed the FCS of the Mirage 2000 to allow 9G manouvring and a roll rate of 270°/sec when configured for air-to-air combat although the pilot can pull an extra 30kg rearward force on the joystick to allow an extra 2G for a total of 11G.
Best low pass video on RUclips, last compliment I'll give the French also. The low altitude formation shots are awesome. The in cockpit low altitude turn about 1:30, with a bank angle more than 90 was an adrenaline rush to watch. The squeezing between towering rocks, yeah baby.
Un Américain qui n'aime pas une personne française est un Américain qui ne connaît pas une personne française ... Vidéo merveilleuse! Cette vidéo est la preuve que je veux que le français soit mon allié dans un conflit, pas mon ennemi! OH, BTW, I am American, born and raised. French is just one of the languages I chose to learn. Now, complainers...the music is appropriate for the video in my opinion because when I am flying such as these gentlemen, I listen to the very same type. Helps focus
I really don't care for techno but this music goes we'll with the flying. I like how the pilot is shaking his head to the music lol. 2 thumbs up close to supersonic.
@ Othaepia: I once discussed this very issue with a retired American aeronautic engineer. He told me that any US military pilot caught red-handed doing this extreme low passes would be immediately fired from the USAF. Therefore, how good your jet jockeys may be, they aren't exactly free to use their talents.
It seems the French drives their planes like they drive their cars...but hey, rather crazy but very good then prudent and unskilled!! This is especially true when flying a jet fighter...Whatever anyone say about the French Army, they are tough, skilled and have very good equipment.
The flying skills, especially those through the rock formations was absolutely awesome. However, having sat in the front seat of a Tornado and Harrier, these mirage jets all have one thing in common which must be a drawback or at least a hinderance,- Namely, the view forward through the HUD and adjacent screens, appear to be very restrictive. What a buzz you must get from flying at this speed, this low......
loving that head banger...premo music.. Awesome vid..I live in New Zealand and lets hope you dont press the wrong button and blow New Zealand up..haha...I think one of them planes would cover the length of New Zealand in about 15 20 minutes..Love it
Holy fucking shit. It's not often I see a truly epic vid on here, but this is one. I've had the shit scared out of me in a jet before (Yeah, I blew chunks), but that would be a whole different level... I want a go soooooo bad.
@AntDX316 yes but the thrill of the speed comes from the acceleration , just look at the space shuttle 14 thou mph once its up there and its not felt (yes no gravity)
@Ti83MJ and WhyTF is a stratotanker doing a low pass If u dont hate the french, youve gotta love'em...even if its for such awesome (almost suicidal) flight maneuvors
...you said it MrWildfire78..I watched the video like several times..and I'm so amazed with those pilots...I have seen good few shows..but nothing like it.I have been myself contemplating on flying lessons...but watching this...gives you such a buzz.. it feels closest to real thing.. excellent video and superb music! :)
The French are many things , some not the most complementary but when it comes to low level/nap of the earth(literally) one of the best air forces in the world. They can show some the so called best a thing or two. Vive La France.
That is some sick flying. Any pilots out there? Feel free to answer this. With today’s airborne radar technology and stealth technology this seems antiquated and only serves to exponentially increase the risk for accident and if they are engaged by other aircraft they are at a huge disadvantage in that the enemy is above them and they will have to climb to engage. Not to mention they can't do any kind of bombing support at that elevation.
I never heard anything about the French being good fighter pilots, but it seems the comments seem to think so. Plus the vid speaks for itself. Either way, this is awesome. I wish I were awesome enough to be a pilot...
Or a bird, which is a bit more likely 200 feet up! I once flew in an Australian Navy chopper, very low level above a beach, with birds scattering everywhere. On the intercom I asked the pilot "What happens if we hit one of those birds?". His calm response: "We die.". Military pilots rock.
after 10 years always back to the classic sound
Still one of the best low flying videos out there, 10 years on, and a great soundtrack too
Mad props to the French on this one! That pilot rockin out in the cockpit is The Man!

Listening to music while flying... like a boss
If you’re a pilot bumpin and thumpin to this…. Cool status ACHIEVED.
i cant get over how fucking cool the vapor trails off the wingtips are... its just such a cool effect of the low pressure zone directly behind it....
French Air Force....best Pilots in the World....absolut crazy!!!
French pilots aren’t crazy, they are the best
the pilot of that huge kc-135 must have balls of steel.

Nice flying and muzik 🌹💐💚
Hi from kirkuk city irak💖💜🌹💐
Crazy French Pilots!!!!....Respect is definatley due though!...Excellent aviators!
Quand on voit d'autres videos plus récentes c'est vraiment des vols de plaisance. Là on a les grandes heures du F1.
Wow! Stunning landcape, amazing flying skills! Chapeau for the Armee de l'AIr!
French AirForce can literaly dab on the ennemy while giving close air-ground support
Best low pass video on RUclips, last compliment I'll give the French also.

great video! whether anyone wants to admit it, France has got a really great Air Force.
I really don't care for techno but this music goes we'll with the flying. I like how the pilot is shaking his head to the music lol. 2 thumbs up close to supersonic.
Du pur bonheur avec les images de MIRAGE F1 qui fonctionne tout à fait avec le style D'ACTION QUI SE PASSE 👌.
troppo bella la musica tamarra!!!!!!!!!!!FANTASTICO!

The French Mirage F1 CR/CT pilots Know how to do a low pass !!!
great video the tune is perfect with the head bobbing very good
1.23 perfect head movement, reckon hes having a great time!
How could anybody possibally dislike this video?
These pilots define the term "badasses".
The skill these guys have amazes me all the time.

1:22
The music fits the vid well, gets the heart pumping more!
Flying low through canyons reminds me of the scene from Independance Day. Very sick footage!
this is definately going in my favorites!
1:23 LOL this video has undoubtedly made my day! Thank you uploader!
this really gives a true sense in how fast these aircraft are really going

What a buzz you must get from flying at this speed, this low......
AWESOME! I love the pilot bopping his head. Thanks for posting this, my day is better now.
i liked the video very much. music, head bobbing, jet sounds, it's all good and i enjoyed it. thanks for making it and sharing.
Best low flying jets compilation I've seen yet. Good job.
holy shit. props to those guys.
the skills and thrills.amazing.
3:07 could be from a movie it's so awesome
1:22-1:25 That pilot looks chill
3:30 the best. scary when your thinking of the possibility to lose a second of lift that close to the ground. or like have your knee hit the joystick
Aha heard stories about french pilots
But never knew they were this crazy ;)
sick vid,but by far the sickest thing is the kc-135 in 1:09!
Song is called Apocalypse by Anno Cost
I love the part when the pilot shake his head its so frkn awesome with the music in 1:24
cool pilot head banging while evading radar!
loving that head banger...premo music.. Awesome vid..I live in New Zealand and lets hope you dont press the wrong button and blow New Zealand up..haha...I think one of them planes would cover the length of New Zealand in about 15 20 minutes..Love it
Greate! Like from Russia))
best low flying vid I have seen yet. thanks for posting!!
Love the head banging....
Of all the low level flight vidoes on youtube, this one is my favorite.
French or not, these guys can fly! And I'm a retired US Marine aviator.
@Cougar133 during a mission, indeed, to avoid the radar (mostly) and the big AA pieces
The music compliments this video oh-so-wonderfully! I've been looping this video for hours!
Exelent je tire mon chapeau à ces pilotes bravo eux 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@mondospectre
thank you!
Mirage F1 is old but it's still an amazing plane
Holy fucking shit. It's not often I see a truly epic vid on here, but this is one. I've had the shit scared out of me in a jet before (Yeah, I blew chunks), but that would be a whole different level... I want a go soooooo bad.
@AntDX316 yes but the thrill of the speed comes from the acceleration , just look at the space shuttle 14 thou mph once its up there and its not felt (yes no gravity)
@AntDX316 Honda fireblade bike, Audi r8 v10 and i won a competition for a trip in a hawk jet which was defo the best of all three
@Ti83MJ and WhyTF is a stratotanker doing a low pass
If u dont hate the french, youve gotta love'em...even if its for such awesome (almost suicidal) flight maneuvors
...you said it MrWildfire78..I watched the video like several times..and I'm so amazed with those pilots...I have seen good few shows..but nothing like it.I have been myself contemplating on flying lessons...but watching this...gives you such a buzz.. it feels closest to real thing.. excellent video and superb music! :)
great great video!! the last part was awesome!!
i always used to laugh at french surrender jokes, but man, hats down this is insane :D
this is really good , all should have the opportunity of such an adrenaline rush... im hooked, LOL
1:22 That pilot is truly having fun :D

Belle compil' petit mec et vive la Gironde et son phare de Cordouan!!!

Nice vid & nice tune, cheers m8
i dont know how many times i've watched yhis video but it's still awesome!!
I started shaking my head at 1:22/23 did you do the same thing?
Are you the pilot ?
0:55
oh the SPEED! dang!
the head banging pilot was my favorite part
I never heard anything about the French being good fighter pilots, but it seems the comments seem to think so. Plus the vid speaks for itself. Either way, this is awesome. I wish I were awesome enough to be a pilot...
French pilots are the best ..we worked along side these mirage f1 pilots in chad awsome guys.
what were u doing in Chad?... running covert terrorist operations???
Poaching
I agree, this video just isn't the same without the song Apocalypse
Or a bird, which is a bit more likely 200 feet up! I once flew in an Australian Navy chopper, very low level above a beach, with birds scattering everywhere. On the intercom I asked the pilot "What happens if we hit one of those birds?". His calm response: "We die.". Military pilots rock.
"Look at that speed! Think we'll be able to pull up in time?"
"It'll be just like beggar's canyon back home!"
Really cool!!
Looks real damn close at 3:00...
jadą świry!
If you can still see your shadow, you're not low enough. hahaha, these guys are awesome!
This looks like way to much fun. Could you imagine being the guy in the truck at 1:28 ? hahaha
WOW can they fly or what?I'm right on the edge of my seat just watching that.
@FireBlady24 i will agree whit the head shaking it went with the beat lol
Supercool! 👍✈️🇨🇵
this is insane flying
it must be so awesome to be a jet fighter pilot, you guys and girls are the kings of the sky's, don't let anyone tell ya otherwise
Fighter jet pilots gotta be the coolest people alive ... and they know it!! I'm jealous
