No wonder why they are hidding their names written on their helmets :mrgreen:

You can get this kind of videos from this cool site, your one can be found under the name of "Ras des flots" (buzing waters) :

In fact the french military ones done in Tchad or Djibouti are usualy pretty insane ehehehe.....

And those guys in the link below almost beat everything else regarding low level with fast jets!

Too bad that now you need to contribute ($$$) to get a quick download, but it's worth it.

It was neat when they pitched up from just over the water's surface, and you could see the waves formed from the engine thrust going into the water. I've seen a video of an F-14 going supersonic about 100-200' over the water, and you could see the wake formed in the water from the shockwave.

The machines are from RAF Leuchars in Scotland. The primary identifying feature is when they fly below the height of the supporting stone foundation of the Bell Rock Lighthouse very cool indeed.

Must have been foreign pilots as the RAF fly lower and faster than that .
Actually safer lower as the seagulls are usually at 50 ft.Herrons and Comerants fly at about ten feet but they are few and far between than the gangs of shithawks.

No, France does'nt use any version of the tornado, and those are as TG says.

I have been that low before, but no where near that fast! Amazing!

Nothing better than looking out the side and seeing your aircraft's shadow keeping pace!

I agree with the others, look like French machines to me.

Cheers,
