The supersonic opening to Les Chevaliers du Ciel (Sky Fighters) places Dassault Mirage jets center stage, as detail-driven exploded views fuse 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 tradeshow intimacy, however, evokes the Top Gun hangover / love affair felt to this day.
