Les Chevaliers Du Ciel - It's a French movie about a couple of French fighter pilots that were set up and kicked out of the French air force and recruited by a secret government agency.  The flying is supposed to be real and not CGI.  Yeah, I know the movie poster looks like it was a direct rip off of Top Gun but at least it appears to actually have a plot behind the movie unlike Top Gun.

Here's some trailers for it.

Worth getting the DVD?

Looks like the first 2 Iron Eagles mixed with Top Gun, Firebirds and a splash of Pearl Harbor.

There was a Falcon 2000 so I'd say the film has potential.

I've heard that plot before. Only it involved a scorpion and the CIA -- It's the story of Voss...

Most mythology has a basis in reality.  You can decide which is which.

I wonder how French sounds under heavy G-loads :D

Anyway, looks interesting.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
