Yes, nice movie with the french Mirage. A good airplane.
Samme for the "mommy" Airbus 340-600 and the AlphaJet trainer also good.

Thanks, I liked it

Go to YouTube and search for "Low Pass" and you will have some fun entertainment

Here is a few samples I really like:

Paal.. how those GA planes next to the runway were not slammed around by the wingtip vortices is interesting... That is some SERIOUS pilotage!

Situational awareness..... for sure! Don't know if pilot was man or woman, but worthy of a deep bow of respect!

This is an old one, The 40th anniversary of the Blue Angels, featuring the song "Dreams" by Van Halen. Crank up your volume... Wish the quality of the video was better, but it's hard to find a good copy. This one still is one of the best..

The Blue Angels have always been some of the best and this video showed why Thanks
I never saw a formation landing like that, THAT was awsome

I always liked this by the Russian Knights where you see some views from the cockpit and a certain whirl it does in the end while shooting flares.

I bet that ground effect cancelled the vortices quickly....maybe?

I'd always thought this video was an almost perfect union of visuals and music...But I stopped watching the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds when they stopped flying F-4's. The A-4's just don't "do it" for me. And even though I worked on F-16's, and they can do some amazing aerial acrobatics (12 point rolls), nothing can compare to the raw power and brute force of an F-4 demo flight. Took a REAL pilot to make the Pig do the things they demanded of it.

I'll always love the Pig and the BUFF.

I too loved to watch the F-4's because of what you described as raw power. They put on a great performance and at the time, would literally fly over the crowds and because of the noise, people would literally hit the deck! The noise was incredible ands because of a case of the "stupids" in college, I almost got to go to Vietnam in the back seat of one! The war was over and I stayed in Pensacola. Yep, couldn't get enough of the F-4...

I would show things like this to my kids to encourage them to do well in school.

It sorta worked... they all like motorcycles.
