As a 25 plus year volunteer at Sun 'n Fun in Lakeland, Florida, and working on the flightline as an Air Show Techinal Inspector, I was priviledge to personally know and interact with Montaine and Daniel. Two very gentle souls that could fly beyond belief! I was very saddened when I heard about the crash that took their lives. This is a great video and my thanks to you that I am able to add it to my favorite playlists.
Amazing. I can appreciate how hard formation aerobatics is, and how easy these pilots make it look. I particularly like how there isn't any horrible music to go along with this great video.
Again, thanks for all the comments. I was one of their early NY students and miss them too. Be sure to click on (more) at the upper right so you can click on my French Connection tribute website.

Awfully close but so perfect, Daniel was a master.
Wonderful - privileged to have seen these two perform several times.
RIP Montaine & Daniel

I miss those two very much, used to watch them every summer when I was a child! Thanks for the video!
I Grew up watching them in the 80's at Oshkosh, and had to a chance to meet them here in Florida. Class Act! I loved them!
I HAVE NO WORDS FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION! God bless you two Daniel Héligoin and Montaine Mallet!
