[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Flat-hatting video tour of the Alps with four Swiss Mirage Fighters (Page 1 of 2)

Subject: Clip - Come Fly with me

Buckle up for a flat-hatting tour of the Alps with four Swiss Mirage Fighter Jets and a couple of fearless friends. See how it feels to rock & roll your way through thin air as you buzz and dust off the Matterhorn.

The soundtrack is a worthy listen all by itself so turn the sound up, take your shoes off and let your toes tap away.

Technical note: This is a 36+ Mb download with a 16.5 minute playtime, which means it's really, really big. It will only work if you have a high-speed broadband or DSL connection for the download.

If you're on dial-up, forward this to a friend or neighbor with HSB or DSL and ask them to invite
you over for the show because it will take forever to download with dial-up and your connection will likely time out first.

Bring beer.

Here's the link. Enjoy :)

WOW! I love this. My Dad's family is Swiss. Always wished we could find rich relations back in the old country and get myself put in a will for some land on a mountain.

Thanks for the link! As much as I like to hate the French, the Mirage is a beautiful airplane.

Yep........but it was still COOL!!!

And those guys get paid to do that?.......

Posted: 9/20/2004 2:23:34 PM EDT

[#32]

They get paid because it's a dangerous job. The stats on fighter pilot survival rates over their careers are very scary when you compare them to the stats for most other career fields.

I'd still volunteer in a heartbeat, though.

friggin awesome!

That is a MOST excellent video. Intially I thought it was made of prerendered cutscenes from a newer flight sim game, it's was just too pretty to be real.

You gotta love those multi-MB/sec download rates. It took less than a mnute to download.

I think the first song is Ecclesiastical Latin? I can't grab any words from it, though.

Posted: 10/25/2004 12:03:44 PM EDT

[#43]

Takes my breath away...

In case anyone was still wondering, the first song on the video is by a group name ERA. Name of the song is 'Enae Volare Mezzo'...
