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!!!😅
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......!
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!
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
👏👏👏 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😉 )
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...
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.
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
@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 !!
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....
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.
@@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 ...
One of the most elegant planes ever flown to perfection. My hat's off to Swiss pilots. Brilliant! :)

same to me
Same here 😍👌
immer noch das eleganteste flugzeug der schweizer flugwaffe
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.
Großartige Aufnahmen, auch noch nach so langer Zeit. Das vermittelt Freiheit über den Wolken. Dankeschön an mein Schweitzer Nachbarn.

If this doesn't inspire you to become a pilot, I don't know what will. Awesome vid.
Well fucking said mate ! :)
Mirage ist und war eines der schönsten Kampfflugzeuge der Schweiz, gefolgt vom Tiger
JUST AMAZING!! THANK YOU!!👍
Thank you Swiss Air Force and Photographer..superb piloting, video photography, landscape and sound track.....Magnificant..!

The Mirage III (and the V) certainly was a beautiful aeroplane.

A few clouds adorned the sunny sky and we only had eyes for our football.

this vid absolutely blew my mind, thanks
Yeahhh! Beautiful video! Thanks very much!
Súper video nice music GRACIAS 🙏🏻

The french airforce did make somme advanced training with the Swiss, and they are very good!
Beautiful footage and extra points for keeping a lot of the engine sound.
OOOOOoo, thanks again!!!
Magnifiques paysages, dans une magnifique machine, cocorico
Thank you very much ! Awesome video ! Vertigo ! Swing with excellent helvetic pilots !
Sehr geiles Video. Trance Musik und Kampfjets - ich liebe es. 😎👌

Merci, Mirage IIIS R/S, même Suisse, je ne connaissais pas. Belle vidéo............
Le Mirage III était le roi du ciel 👍
Muito bom! Very good, from Brazil!
Guau....perfect....!!!!!!!!
el vuelo mas hermoso a nivel internacional en mi opinion!
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....
magnifique
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
Good thing I don't believe in chosing a favorite. Because it would be hard to choose this or the Mirage F.1.
i do not think there is word yet to describe this video:)
Thanks so much!
Geil! Danke! Musik passt auch! Die Einspielungen des Nachbrenners mit Ton sind auch gelungen.......
Thanks for your comment! - Go and get the full vid at lionelcharlet-dot-com / the name of the vid is: vols blancs

#1 - My everything
#2 - My saving grace
We had the MiragelllE here in Brazil, but i find the lllC more elegant.
Congrulations From Turkey,EPIC VIDEO;)
Flying like an EAGLE mmmmmmmmmmmm...
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
Chhpétacular...
Did E.Poznanski make any part of this video. He is a superb operateur with the best Mirage/AXALP audiovideos...
That plane is so fucking cool looking
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!

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.
BIEN
But why didn't they choose the Rafale over the F-35? A mystery..
@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
Aye I’m in 2024 . Just so you know
The Pilot in most of the shots is Yves Rossy.
Small jet
Big sound
the eternally majestic & magnificent Mirage 3 ...........mezmerising ! does anyone know who the music artist is ??
What are the songs used in this?
They sound amazing and go well with the vid!
Fatal Valkyrie look at the discription
Thanks for the video. But why the music why?
Me gusta mucho pilotiado algo asi esoy cotento y si hay faltas possss espero volar algo asi pronto…...
Does anyone know where you can view low altitude level flying in Switzerland? Or isn't there a set training area? Many thanks in advance.
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.
Norvegian air force does this in zero-zero weather at Drammen and Bodoe...
