Jet Geeks... need help on this video

Recommended Posts

not a Rafale.. From the 1st images these are our Mirage III's, now retired.

Check Lionel Charlet 's movies, specially Vols Blancs

edit to add : click on : see extract

also check www.jet-man.com and look at the videos. Yves Rossy was a Mirage pilot, still flies a Humter "for fun" sometimes

Looks very very similar. Many of the same shots... I would like the exact video I linked to though, but thank you very much.



From the results I got by googling this one a bit, that might be a tad difficult. :|

It seems as if Yves Rossy shot the actual video, but never released it to the public. That being said, Lionel Charlet did use some of the footage for his movie "Vols Blancs", but not all of it.

Your best bet would probably be to send a really nice mail to Yves and ask him whether it might be possible to get a high quality copy...

will check with Yves if it is actually his footage. He might be kind of busy these days, but if it's his footage and if he still has it available, it should be no big deal to have a copy.

I gotta tell ya that being high up on a route and having these guys go by is really wild. In the mtns you're always thinking, "What's trying to get me?", rock or icefall, weather, another party effing up... These guys come roaring outta the blue and scare the shit out of you. Once you realize what it is and if you get a glimpse of them all's well but for that nanosecond you figure the world is coming down around your shoulders.

OK, had Yves on the phone yesterday night... He was actually quite pissed that his footage was all over the internet...

But he was happy you liked them ;)

He's burning me a couple DVD's... One for you, one for me :)
