Le Mirage Du Tchad
This high quality video of very low level and formation flying in the Mirage F1 in Tchad contains so much very good footage that there's no way you could say it isn't great!
Mirage F1 Star Wars
This video shows Mirage F1 flying extremely low between canyon rocks in the desert similarly to the spaceships in the movie directed by George Lucas, STAR WARS. It contains some air refuelling operations, low take offs, and more. The exciting eletronic music overpowers this video.

Rafale's on the USS Enterprise
Series of landings and catapultings of two Rafale M and one E-2C Hawkeye of the French Navy on the US Navy's carrier USS "Enterprise" off the Cannes, France - July 2007.
Aircrafts lands at a speed of 250km/h (135Knots), stop in a distance of 90m (295ft), knowing that an usual landing requires 1500m (4900ft).
The opposite manoeuvre had been already executed on the French carrier "Charles de Gaulle", Off the Pakistan coast, with one F-18 Hornet and a Hawkeye from the US Navy carrier USS John C. Stennis.

Home Sweet Home
Two Mirage 2000-5F from the 1st and 2nd squadrons EC 1/2 "Cigognes", based in the AFB 102 at Dijon, France.
How to understand "1st and 2nd squadron EC 1/2 "Cigognes" in French Air Force ? :
"EC" means "Fighter Squadron".
"1" in "1/2" means the "under squadron" number.
"2" in "1/2" means the mean squadron number : There is no equivalent to translate the nuance between "Escadron", "Escadre", and "Escadrille" in english. This second number could means the regiment, "Escadre", "Escadrille", or a specific unit. Here this is the 2nd "Escadron" (or "mean squadron"). But it would be a regiment...
And these two numbers combined lost their meaning. They are not really significant, and often based on the squadron's history.
We often add a name of city, region, or animal to the squadron. Here "Cigognes" (storks in english).
At last, You can note there is two different heraldic shields on their tails (two different storks). These helradic refer to the "Escadrille" (under classification of the "under squadron") and often refers to a shibboleth or a hero from the Air Force :
The Mirage at left come from the 1st "escadrille" from the EC 1/2 squadron, named "SP3 Cigogne de Guynemer". Georges Guynemer was a WWI ace based at the AFB 102, with 53 victories.
The Mirage at right come from the 2nd "escadrille" from the EC 1/2 squadron, named "SP103 Cigogne de Fonck". René Fonck was the most famous WWI French aces, with 75 victories. The highest scoring allied Ace during the WWI.

RESCO Training
Combat Search and Rescue (RESCO in French) training by air commandos of the unit EH 1/67 "Pyrénées" on helicopters EC-725 Caracal and SA-330 Puma.
In reality, these missions are often executed by night and without radio communication. The three masters words of a RESCO mission are : rapidity / discretion / firepower. During a RESCO, commandos are supported by combat helicopters with 30mm canons and rockets, and fighters to cover the aerial zone. Combat Search and Rescue units reassure pilots, and a successfully mission has a major political impact against the enemy.

The Superb Rafale French Fighter
The Dassault Rafale is a French twin-engined delta-wing highly agile multi-role fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation. Dassault uses 'Omni Role' as a marketing term in an effort to differentiate the aircraft from other 'multi-role' fighters that have primary and secondary roles. Dassault also uses the term to indicate the Rafale's ability to switch from one role to another during a single sortie, although the term is mostly meant to encapsulate the fact that the Rafale is replacing seven specialised planes.
The Rafale is being produced both for land-based use with the French Air Force and for carrier-based naval operations with the French Navy. It has also been marketed for export, and while there are no foreign sales yet, several countries have expressed interest.

A perfect girl in the Air Force
Glamour model and forces ’sweetheart’ Lucy Pinder is on a mission to bring back nose art to RAF planes.
Lucy and her Page 3 colleagues recently visited Afghanistan and met serving troops. While in the country, they signed paintings of themselves on RAF aircraft and were said to have boosted morale.
