:hesaid: Thanks Marty, way better than Breakfast TV!
Interesting to compare this bird with the Hornet, posted in a moment of lucidness by SUBS17 on this very forum

The Rafale is really nimble (and most beautiful).
The setting in the mountains gives the clip a rare sense of intimacy and I was struck by how rapidly the jet accelerates.
I looked it up and worked the numbers.
It will give you a 1.5g kick in the behind if you open the taps.
So from pootling at near-stall to 450 kts in a little over 10 seconds.

I feel a need for some Real vs Sim.
I only have the heavier Hornet in AFS2, but I do have Switzerland which also has Mollis AB.
