- Viva La France! Great to see the 2024 Dassault Rafale C Solo Display Jet at Mildenhall and Duxford over the weekend, painted in the French flag colors looked very nice and really suits the Rafale Jet. Watch through the demo and see how many times the pilot pushes into negative g turns, impressive to watch.

This French masterpiece is awesome and on this performance, the Rafale should be treated with respect as I bet it would be deadly in combat - certainly seems more manoeuverable than a Eurofighter or American Jet ! Great Display and great camera work ! Nice one Bob !!
Certainly is a nifty bugger. Pleased you enjoyed the show
Ufo? No its a Rafale❤
Well filmed. Highlight of the day for me - by far my favourite solo fast jet display.
Thanks. Yep always a treat watching the Rafale display
OMG Bob, wow unbelievable, beautiful jet amazing sound. I don’t know how that pilot would be able to walk straight after that lol. Thank you so much for your excellent video, Heidi ❤️🤗😁😘👍
Pretty damn dizzying just to watch and keep up with let alone being in it! Glad you enjoyed watching along
Thank you 😉🫠
Were you there the next day when the weather was nice and sunny and the RAFALE pilot seemed to have gone crazy and made a much more aggressive presentation with the same plane?!
Missed the display Sunday got the take off instead which was rather high haha
@bob - algorithm keeps deleting me when I try to answer you, so I'll try this way. I watched that demo on "AH AVIATION" channel. Really spectacular!
What..wow.
Can you try to describe it briefly?
Amazing! gorgeous plane, and fantastic pilot, merci c'est du bonheur de voir cet merveille qu'est le Rafale en display.
Fantastic!!
Glad you enjoyed the show!
Wow une fois de plus !!!: rafale c le meilleur !!! Grace a nos pilotes !!! ❤❤❤
oui il est tres difficile a piloter
Bravo Bob ;-) Merci pour ta vidéo très bien filmée.
Merci beaucoup =)
Pleased you enjoyed watching these maneuvers from this perspective.
Didn't realize how well I caught that negative g push at 3:42, that's great to watch back!
Absolutely phenomenal and such impeccable magnificent jaw-dropping flying !!!
Glad you could appreciate and enjoy the way these maneuvers were executed in the Rafale jet and also the perspective showing them.
Best wishes to you
🤗
Thanks for this! I recall video games where you had to choose a light, medium or heavy fighter/ship to play - this would be the light one, tuning on a dime with spins for days! great footage many thanks.
Sounds wicked! Glad you were entertained and enjoyed watching these maneuvers from this perspective.. plenty more to come!
Lovely display, like the colours as well. Great video Bob, thankyou 👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed watching these precise maneuvers from this perspective.
Didn't realize how well I picked up that head on negative g push, that's great to watch back!
I wonder why many British Airshow fans claim the Rafale jet to be their entire favourite combat aircraft rather than the Typhoon
Do they? The Rafale is a solid jet all round but don't think it's anywhere near the Typhoon
@bobsurgranny wow this is such a surprisingly off take.. in what ways it is "nowhere near" the Typhoon?
Except for the max speed and slightly lesser acceleration and climb rate?
Rafale's roll rate and agility are superior, especially at low altitudes.
It can carry more payload, has more hardpoints, despite being lighter and smaller.
It also has superior range, active and passive stealth, ground attack, IR signature and EW capabilities.
Basically a true jack of all trades workhorse
FYI, in the Swiss Air Force competition between Rafale, Gripen and Typhoon, the Rafale was graded by far the best in all categories, exceeding all requirements, with Typhoon barely up to the requirements and Gripen(C/D) failing to meet any requirement.
And Rafale pilot (read the interview article on Hush kit page) actually called Typhoon a "joke" and claimed that he lost count on how many times he took Typhoon down in mock engagements.
MA-GNI-FIQUE!
😍🍒🎰
3:42 - 3:53.
What on Earth is going on here..my brain lost the track on physics, or Rafale just said bye to physics!😧
You are the best air show cameraman!
Thanks for the kind compliment! ;) You must shoot video yourself right?
That looked like a fairly uncomfortable negative g push, this head on view was quite the perspective of that maneuver. Certainly was an unusual sight from this angle..
@bobsurgranny yeah I understand it is negative G but would never imagined that a plane can do a full negative G turn .. just don't understand how. Oh well
@@creativeearthian1702 yep it was mega!
Sharp looking aircraft!
Nimble bugger the Rafale
Kev. What do you make of this what someone commented?

@@bobsurgranny Thanks for asking! This is rather long, my apologies. But, wanted to make sure I hit the points on this subject.
I do know that US Navy pilots were very impressed with the Rafale which is used by the French Navy on the Charles De Gaulle aircraft carrier. However, they are just as impressed with the Typhoon and were shocked when it was announced the UK's QE Class carriers would have ski jumps & the F-35. (Original design was with catapults, and the expectation of a navalized Typhoon). By the time Gripens were more widely on the market, my career was winding down, so I never got a good take from anyone on their capabilities.
But, the one thing to always remember about foreign military sales of any product, is that source nations, whether US/UK/France, Russia, or others never, ever sell their products with top shelf capabilities. Because some portion of those capabilities are highly classified and source nations are always wary of that information falling into the wrong hands if an aircraft is captured intact, or survives a crash landing relatively intact.
This was likely the main reason for the long delay in F-16 sales to Ukraine, even though those aircraft were themselves export versions from NATO members, because NATO customers get special exceptions on technology sharing other customers are not afforded.
So, when a customer comes along, the following review takes place - Can our aircraft meet their needs? - Will meeting their needs compromise high level secrets about the aircraft? If the latter is the case, then the 'export version' may well end up being less capable than the 'home version'. And, then it's a crap shoot as to whether the customer thinks it's a good aircraft for their needs. You can take it to the bank, that export versions of the Typhoon, Rafale and the Gripen in general likely do not meet the complete specs of home/NATO versions.
But, then also there's the question of whether or not the customers pilots can handle the aircraft. It may not be to their liking to fly it, they may feel more comfortable flying one, than another.
One good example of 'watered down' export versions is the Soviet/Russian Mig 29. When Germany reunified, Lutfwaffe pilots of West Germany flew the East German Mig-29's and found that it did not even meet the Soviet/Russian expectations much less NATO/Luftwaffe expectations and it was removed from service.
So, it is possible (though unlikely) that the export version Typhoon did not seem to meet up to the Rafale. I remember reading up on the Swiss competition in Defense Industry Dailies, and it was clear the Swiss were leaning toward the Rafale before flight testing even began....lol Why? Who knows.
However, foreign military sales is an extremely competitive and occasionally ruthless business. Dassault I think is still in court in India over the 'bribery' scandal...lol But, that is an exception. More often than not, it 's simply balls to the wall competition. Source countries will pamper and lobby customer test pilots like an F-1 race car builder trying to lobby F-1 drivers/team owners.
I don't know what nationality the Rafale pilot cited was. But if he was French, he's going to make the Rafale sound as though it can walk on water...lol
As for mock aerial engagements... someone is setting rules and conditions on those. They're never realistic enough in some regards. (Especially if these were in a simulator). Unless you actually open fire for real....lol Besides that, it's the pilot as much as the aircraft. In the Korean War, a Royal Navy Sea Fury (piston engine) took on and and shot down a NK Mig-15 jet that pounced on the Sea Fury. And, the RN pilot made short work of that!! Sea Fury, like the US Navy F-7 Tigercat was built just a little too late to see service in WWII. Both are still flying in extremely few numbers. Maybe only one each by now.
La perfection !!! Rafale !!!❤❤❤
Pleased you enjoyed the show 👍
Such a Beauty ✈️
The pilot skills.. 💪
Fantastic
Pleased you enjoyed the show
