It's not a Jaguar, it doesn't have square intakes for example. It's quite clearly a Mirage F.1. Intakes, ventral tailfins and fixed refuelling boom are the give aways.

Agree...Mirage F1.


And a Frenchman with the common sense of a possum on an interstate....

I disagree...

The one in the video doesn't have the guide cone in the inlet, not that I can see anyway. Also, I have never seen a Mirage with the ECM or threat detection pod in the upper tail. The inlet looks to high to be a Mirage but appears to be round or square depending on the frame. I have heard both aircraft many times, it certainly does not not sound like a Mirage tho the sound quality is quite poor. Having personally worked on and around a Sepecat Jaguar I will say it sounds awfully familiar.

In any event its not worth arguing over, we could all agree that is one crazy dude on the runway.

I agree that it's not worth arguing over. I just think that the inlet guides won't show up because of the low resolution of the video and the dark camo of the plane. It's the refuelling boom made me more or less sure it's a Mirage. You can kinda see a lighter shade on the right intake which looks like the intake guide. Also, the desert setting kinda reminds me of Tchad. :)
