Good find, but this probably belongs in Historic Aviation sub-forum. There’s a “Historic Interesting Internet” thread too. Might be worth sticking it in there for posterity.

Translation, if I may:

During a high altitude flight (FL500 here), the afterburner flames are blue, indicating a complete combustion.
Very High Altitude flight does have a tactical interest, as it enables to lengthen the weapons range. It is interesting in some situations.

Couteau team. I wouldn’t normally share stuff like that, but is that a special tail on the Mirage 2000D behind? Not sure if it’s new or not.

Certainly looks new, but also very subdued. They've still got nothing better to do RIAT weekend you know!

Looks better than the German Eufi, cue calls for Creedence Clearwater Revival to appear at RIAT instead of the German Tiger Band!
