That's pretty lame... they're just above water. There's one somewhere where they're flying through some crazy mountainous terrain. I think they were Swiss or some Nordic country.

LOL YEAH, THEY'RE JUST above water. you douche. do you realize that water is like concrete going that fast? If that airplane hit the water it'd probably hydroplane out of control and crash.

Ok, if you bank and your wing tip touches water, you are too low. Geez, the one guy had to pull up over waves.

I like this vid more. Swiss Mirage III pilots tooling around in the alps, pretty ballsy flying and amazing scenery. Very long vid, great to watch.

edit: they also mix it up with a hornet at some point. The hornet looses, but was outnumbered 2-1. He was on the tail of one Mirage when the camera plane got on his tail and got a simulated kill. Situational awareness for the win, huh. I think the Mirage is probably the better knife-fighter, don't really know all that much about it, though.

I always thought it would look more like this

Still that is way friggen-hardcore. I love how 1337 the pilots look in their helmets :p
