Les Chevaliers du Ciel
If model airplane kits are "the genesis of many aviation careers" then we post in tribute!
The supersonic opening to Les Chevaliers du Ciel (Sky Fighters) places Dassault Mirage jets center stage, with detail-driven exploded views fusing seamlessly with impressive live-action footage. Blueprinted blades of a tactical helicopter whirring into aerial maneuvers is a nice example of form. The testosterone driven trade show intimacy however telegraphs the Top Gun hangover/love affair felt to this day.
