Jet flight in mountains video

Except for the Wagner, no

But thanx for posting awsome video !! Shame the res wasnt higher, thats what I got broadband for ;-)

I can't get this to play, what program are you using? I've tried Winamp and Windows Media Player, neither of which seem to recognize the .asf file. Scott Wilson

See if you can grab it by using the direct link to the file:

Yes. It looks like a lice bit of computer animation.

Only recognised the Wagner " The Ride of the Valkyries"... Looked like Mirage 2000's of the Swiss Air Force? The Matterhorn definitely appeared in one sequence!

The noses looked more like Mirage 5s, but the canards threw me. Perhaps they're those updated Mirage NGs that Dassault was trying to sell in place of Mirage 2000s? There was at least one F-5E in there during one of the air combat sequences.

If they're Swiss and have canards they'll be the upgraded Mirage IIIS/IIIRS the Swiss retired a couple years ago.

when I 1st viewed the video I had the impression they were Kfirs but couldn't see any markings to ID the A/C the canards are what I kept going back to?

I have to add that they look like SAAB Gripens to me, the intakes look too square for Mirages.

Cheers, Gary B-)

Right near the end you can clearly see the Swiss roundel on the tail of one of the mirages. Since the Swiss did not fly Kfirs, they have to be one of the several species of Mirage...

I got the impression that there are some Grippens in the mix.

Well that's just one of the aircraft identified. I'm looking for the original video, which will be higher res than this, then i'll be able to identify all aircraft types.

Hey, ya get the original video, please share with us please if possible ?

TIA :)

The aircraft appeared to be Mirages & F-5E's, They were Siwss, which flies both types. Some of the Mirages appear the have the canard modification (I think called Cheetah mod).

Funny...I think that most of the shots in the video are of/from Kfir aircraft...some of what appear to be Mirages have canards, some do not. They are most likely Mirage IIIS aircraft:

And I'm leary now of my initial ID of Grippens in the mix...the intakes aren't square enough, and I can't make out the boat tail of the JAS-39's exhaust nozzle. So I'll rule them out.

I can also observe F-5's, and there are some radio calls about shots at Hornets, but I don't think they actually appear in the video.

So my tally is Mirages, and F-5's...all Swiss from the look of things.
