We were kids back in the late 80s. A few clouds adorned the sunny sky and we only had eyes for our football. Then we heard the thunder, no bad weather thunderstorm that was for sure. We boys immediately started scanning the horizon with our eyes and were thrilled when the mirage jets flew over our heads, so close that we thought we could see the pilot's beard flapping in the wind! 😀 So loud that the girls covered their ears and the toddlers started crying. The football? I don't know, nobody had an eye for that anymore. Yes, it was like that in Switzerland back then. Good old days!
👏👏👏 magnifique vidéo ! À ce mirage lll S ! Quelle pureté de ligne ! Aucun avion ne lui arrive à la cheville ! Le M 3S, est aussi de toute beauté (était puisqu’il n’est plus en fonction) je dirais même plus beau que le Raffale..Et coup de chapeau aux pilotes Suisse👍 ! Waouh il en faut pour slalomer entre les montagnes ! Des As.. ( d’un ancien mécanicien de Mirage IIIE😉 )
Cette vidéo me procure à chaque fois une émotion si intense et si forte pour la consécration la réalisation de pouvoir voler dans de telles machine … ça me donnerais presque des larmes mais je suis dur à toucher. La musique m’embarque à chaque fois j’adore les notes, les images sont sublime et bien choisit le mix extérieur / intérieur est magique les prises de vues tournante .. le fait que ça sois un Mirage une magnifique flèche d’acier et de métal de fabrication française ( un peu de chauvinisme ) et de me dire que j’ai encore une ultime et infime chance d’être assis dans un Rafale et de vivre peut-être moi aussi ces sensations cette vie .. ça me donne un désir ardent à l’intérieur de moi même.
I remember the times when i was a kid. My heart started bumping when mirages appeared out of nowhere in low flight. I always tried to imagine how it would be to sit in one of these planes, diving throug the valley.🥰 epic video
Great video featuring one of the best looking fighters of all times. I’ll never forget the Axalp 2003 flight demonstration where 6 x Mirage IIIRS performed for the very last time. After their strafing runs all 6 aircraft approached the crowd in a delta formation and pulled up in the vertical using afterburner until they disappeared from our view in the crisp blue Swiss sky. Everybody had goosebumps because for almost everone this was the last time they would ever see this beautiful jet. I have goosebumps again while writing this…… great great memories!!!😅
Je me souviens avoir lu quelque part d'un pilote de Mirage 2000 que le pilotage d'un Mirage III était un pur plaisir. Un plaisir qu'il n'avait plus connu par la suite, même aux commandes du Mirage 2000. C'était également l'opinion de l'as des as de la chasse israélienne Giora Epstein. Chaque vol sur un Mirage III était une joie disait-il. Si c'était un plaisir au dessus des terres peu montagneuses du Moyen-Orient, je peux imaginer le plaisir étourdissant qu'il aurait éprouvé dans les vallées encaissées de la Suisse sur un Mirage équipé de "canards". Les pilotes suisses ne peuvent que devenir des as à piloter dans ces dangereuses montagnes.
Les Mirage de l'époque de la Guerre Froide étaient des avions au Top, IIIE, Mirage IIIB, IIIBE, IIIC et le superbe Mirage IVA, vecteur de l'Arme Nucléaire. Slt
Quelle prestation! À couper le souffle! Ces Mirage lll ressemblent beaucoup à nos CF-18 Hornet en opération au Canada. Bravo aux pilotes et aux équipes qui ont travaillé à filmer ces splendides images.
Although the Mirage IIIS/RS showed its age, its beauty perfectly matched the Swiss landscape, the mountains, the valleys, the lakes. A much better visual match than the heavier Hornet.
Very beautiful Video! - In the Swiss Army, as an Infatryman, I together with my comrades in the sky, who supported our ground positions with Close air-ground-training weapons.....Woah, the noise!!! It is just extreme! Many thanks for this great Video footage! These "Boys" know, how to fly! They are part of our defense, I was part of it with my rifle......!
beaucoup plus d'armées de l'air devraient se filmer en vol pour nous donner encore plus de prises de vues aériennes comme celle-ci bravo la suisse merci au caméraman lionel charlet
Pakistan is beautiful, in pictures. But it is off-limits for many people in EU, UK, US due to poor personal safety and declining diplomatic relations. Perhaps this can change for the better, but unlikely in our lifetimes. India is more hospitable and generally safer.
Absolutely fantastic & beautiful !!! ... We miss for ever our lovely Mirage III S & RS ... in the Swiss Air Force ! But if you would like to pay 17'000.- swiss francs, you could flight during 45 minutes as civilian passager with a true fighter pilot of the SAF in a Mirage III DS at the Payerne Air Force Base, Switzerland. I promise to you, it will be a great experience !!!
It is with a heavy heart that a announce to you almost 3 months later that the IIIDS HB-RDF is now retired due to pressure and issues from the swiss government concerning serviceability and safety because of the plane's old age...
Salute from uk, all about the delta baby,straight as an arrow is how to roll.. and front canards give it them knife edge pull ups , this and the rafie and obviously typhie euro are my faves...even liked them when argies flew em, but i keep that quiet to my fellow countrymen....
I find the Swiss air force interesting from the fact of the different types of aircraft they have used. MIrage III, F-5E, F-18. Also from how they operate from roads and store aircraft in caverns.
@silvialucianunes My dear Sylvia, It's really amazing ! A magnificent flight over the mountains of the Alps in a really exiting fighter airplane. Thank you for share my friend! @TPSchop Thank you for this amazing video with a excellent music !!
@@richardschrantz3190 t'inquiète ils metrisent😂 mais les pilotes français font pareils avec les mirages 2000. J'en ai vu passer de pres quand j'etais au ski pas loin de la frontière
"Snap Roll" - I think not. You might try one in a MIrage III but only once, it would kill you unless you were at high enough to recover from the resulting spin. What you meant was aileron roll ...
Pakistan Airforce is still using upgraded Mirage III and Mirage V for ground attacks and stand-off weapons. They were successful in hitting several Indian targets on 27th February 2019.
Ein delta flügel kampfjet can agressiver fliegen als ein F18... aber die F18 ist auch viel schwehrer...(Mirage 3= 6 tonnen (leer), F18= 11 tonnen leer)
Mirage ist und war eines der schönsten Kampfflugzeuge der Schweiz, gefolgt vom Tiger

Großartige Aufnahmen, auch noch nach so langer Zeit. Das vermittelt Freiheit über den Wolken. Dankeschön an mein Schweitzer Nachbarn.
One of the most elegant planes ever flown to perfection. My hat's off to Swiss pilots. Brilliant! :)

Du warst das Geilste Kampfflugzeug für uns Schweizer !
Wir vermissen dich, R.I.P
Wenn man bedenkt, dass die Spitzen der Flugwaffe die F-104 wollten..!
Danke Bundesrat Chaudet.
The best Mirage III video I've seen do far

Wirkt sehr robust !
Quelle prestation! À couper le souffle! Ces Mirage lll ressemblent beaucoup à nos CF-18 Hornet en opération au Canada. Bravo aux pilotes et aux équipes qui ont travaillé à filmer ces splendides images.
Still magnificent brilliant Mirage IIIS / RS Swiss Air Force.."Top Gun"..!!
Although the Mirage IIIS/RS showed its age, its beauty perfectly matched the Swiss landscape, the mountains, the valleys, the lakes. A much better visual match than the heavier Hornet.
This just makes me cry.😭
If this doesn't inspire you to become a pilot, I don't know what will. Awesome vid.
Well fucking said mate ! :)

Thank you Swiss Air Force and Photographer..superb piloting, video photography, landscape and sound track.....Magnificant..!
Waren die schönster Zeiten, ich vermisse sie danke vielmals für dieses schöne Video
Eines der schönsten Flugzeuge die wir hatten.
The Mirage III (and the V) certainly was a beautiful aeroplane.
AWESOME!! incredibly talented pilots, beautiful machines
Bravo...phenomenal composition...piloting, filming and music..!!
beaucoup plus d'armées de l'air devraient se filmer en vol pour nous donner encore plus de prises de vues aériennes comme celle-ci bravo la suisse merci au caméraman lionel charlet
The classic Mirage III + out of this world Swiss scenery + song with a sexy voice make for one hell of a video. Keep it up!!!
JUST AMAZING!! THANK YOU!!👍
That fixe wings Canarts was the Burrner
Très beau travail de filmage.
Amazing footage, especially from 3:38
le alpi.. sempre bellissime
Mirage IIIS - love it! What a sexy plane!
Switzerland is like pakistan the northern areas green and mountainous 😍😍😍love from 🇵🇰
Pakistan is beautiful, in pictures. But it is off-limits for many people in EU, UK, US due to poor personal safety and declining diplomatic relations. Perhaps this can change for the better, but unlikely in our lifetimes. India is more hospitable and generally safer.
Again...Totally inspiring...Brilliant piloting, photo, and music...Thank you a million!!

Awesome brilliant piloting, photography to capture it, and musical composition in the heart of it...Thank you..!!!
AWESOME FLYING AND FILMING..!!
The french airforce did make somme advanced training with the Swiss, and they are very good!
Wow I love those videos that show flying this close to the edge! Breathtaking
Merci, Mirage IIIS R/S, même Suisse, je ne connaissais pas. Belle vidéo............
Salute from uk, all about the delta baby,straight as an arrow is how to roll.. and front canards give it them knife edge pull ups , this and the rafie and obviously typhie euro are my faves...even liked them when argies flew em, but i keep that quiet to my fellow countrymen....
Finally a good video of Switzerland! ;)
excellent job!
I'm fifteen, it's my dream to fly a day in this wonderful plane
Thanks for posting
Sa pick i am sorry to say this but there are no longer Mirages in swiss service
I find the Swiss air force interesting from the fact of the different types of aircraft they have used. MIrage III, F-5E, F-18. Also from how they operate from roads and store aircraft in caverns.
Beautiful footage and extra points for keeping a lot of the engine sound.
Smashing video! Thx to the author and these wonderful machines of the sky!
The best sound i ever heard!
Magnifiques paysages, dans une magnifique machine, cocorico
Je suis trop Jeune pour avoir vu ces beautées en vol mais il reste un des appareils avec les plus belles lignes qui n'ai jamais pris l'air
@silvialucianunes My dear Sylvia, It's really amazing ! A magnificent flight over the mountains of the Alps in a really exiting fighter airplane. Thank you for share my friend!
@TPSchop Thank you for this amazing video with a excellent music !!
Superbe! les "Dassault" rendent les pilotes heureux.
Súper video nice music GRACIAS 🙏🏻
Excelente video desde Chile abrazo me encanta los aviones 🤘🇨🇱🤣
Nice flying
Geil! Danke! Musik passt auch! Die Einspielungen des Nachbrenners mit Ton sind auch gelungen.......
Ils sont fous ces helvètes,mais quelles images,quel beau pays!
Ah bon ? Qu'est ce qu'on a de fou ? XD
@@sylou6424 voler aussi près des reliefs!
@@richardschrantz3190 t'inquiète ils metrisent😂 mais les pilotes français font pareils avec les mirages 2000. J'en ai vu passer de pres quand j'etais au ski pas loin de la frontière
Sehr geiles Video. Trance Musik und Kampfjets - ich liebe es. 😎👌
Yeahhh! Beautiful video! Thanks very much!
Sound of the alps 20+ years ago
Thank you very much ! Awesome video ! Vertigo ! Swing with excellent helvetic pilots !
Jesus..a climbing snap roll onto an opposing 90 degree high G turn at 1:12 .
DAMN
"Snap Roll" - I think not. You might try one in a MIrage III but only once, it would kill you unless you were at high enough to recover from the resulting spin.
What you meant was aileron roll ...
Good point
Wait a minute..he was doing 450 KIAS+..he wouldn't spin. Delta wings shed energy fast, but not that fast
Rolling rate of the Mirage are stunning, no matter they are 2000s or IIIs......
If he was doing 450 kts he couldn't perform a snap roll unless the stall speed of a Mirage is 430 kts - and it's not.
Pakistan Airforce is still using upgraded Mirage III and Mirage V for ground attacks and stand-off weapons. They were successful in hitting several Indian targets on 27th February 2019.
Awsome aircraft great music brilliant video👍
Good thing I don't believe in chosing a favorite. Because it would be hard to choose this or the Mirage F.1.
Fascinante Jim !!!!
Le Mirage III était le roi du ciel 👍
Muito bom! Very good, from Brazil!
We had the MiragelllE here in Brazil, but i find the lllC more elegant.
this vid absolutely blew my mind, thanks
Bon plus de 10 ans après (voir plus) il n'y pas photos, ces images sont les plus belles images de Mirage III jamais filmées.
Cool 😎
Did E.Poznanski make any part of this video. He is a superb operateur with the best Mirage/AXALP audiovideos...
i do not think there is word yet to describe this video:)
Greeeeat vid. Thrilling
BEAUTIFUL
magnifique
awesome!!!
How cool would it be to actually do this? I would be throwing up, passing out and shouting OH SHIT but loving every minute of it!
you actually can
Guau....perfect....!!!!!!!!
Congrulations From Turkey,EPIC VIDEO;)
Flying like an EAGLE mmmmmmmmmmmm...
el vuelo mas hermoso a nivel internacional en mi opinion!
the eternally majestic & magnificent Mirage 3 ...........mezmerising ! does anyone know who the music artist is ??
@berzerken Every October on Axalp Shooting Range in Switzerland you can see this kind of flying including live fire.
phoenixsui i know it really is awesome ive been there
Swiss TOP GAN
OOOOOoo, thanks again!!!
The Pilot in most of the shots is Yves Rossy.
absolutely
awesome :D
Thanks so much!
ท่าสุดท้ายคือสุดๆ🔥

They sound amazing and go well with the vid!

BIEN
Magnifique l'ami mais tu fauche les image a Lionel Charlet...
But why didn't they choose the Rafale over the F-35? A mystery..
I'm sure Joe Biden, who made a dedicated visit, had some convincing arguments... (you know you need clearance to operate on NYSE, right ?)
Waren die Piloten viel besser? Ist die Mirage dem F18 in bodennähe so überlegen?
Ein delta flügel kampfjet can agressiver fliegen als ein F18... aber die F18 ist auch viel schwehrer...(Mirage 3= 6 tonnen (leer), F18= 11 tonnen leer)
Geschwindikeitsmässig ist die Mirage dem F18 weit überlegen.
Mirage über 2000km/h
F 18 unter 2000km/h
Quand je pense que la Suisse a acheté des F35...😢
