Extranajero Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Sent to me last night by a friend - the English version of Les Chevaliers du Ciel, called The Aeronauts. Apparently this was on the TV when I was a kid, but I don't remember watching it - I would have loved it.... Obviously there is no Mirage 2000 ;) but there is a lot of footage of the beautiful Mirage III, the simulator and in later episodes we see the 'new' R530 missile and all kinds of interesting things. I can't make the YouTube preview function work, but this is the link.

Extranajero Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 I haven't seen the movie, maybe it's worth watching for the Mirage 2000 ? --------------------------------------------------------- PC specs:- Intel 386DX, 2mb memory, onboard graphics, 14" 640x480 monitor Modules owned:- Bachem Natter, Cessna 150, Project Pluto, Sopwith Snipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiGon Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Sky Fighters (as its international movie title is), is actually my favorite aviation movie. I like it much more than Top Gun. The story is pretty shitty (just like Top Gun), but the aviation scenes are absolutly stunning! They did't even use GCI to do them! They had a lot of support by the Armée de l'Air (french air force) and filmed all the flight scenes for real. The AdA even converted a fuel pod to include a professional film camera, so a jet equipped with it could fly next to the airplanes to be filmed and film them. They also reduced restrictions on the minimum distance between aircraft in formation flying just for the movie and the result of all this is just stunning aviation scenes that are way above anything Top Gun had to offer! Edited July 11, 2019 by QuiGon Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Extranajero Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 The story is completely ridiculous, but who cares. It has Mirages and amazing footage. --------------------------------------------------------- PC specs:- Intel 386DX, 2mb memory, onboard graphics, 14" 640x480 monitor Modules owned:- Bachem Natter, Cessna 150, Project Pluto, Sopwith Snipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Yep, Daasault did modify a 2000L fuel tank. And the director went in the back of a Mirage 2000B :smartass: Edited July 11, 2019 by jojo Mirage fanatic !
