I haven't but I've heard it often referred to as "Top Gun made for a French audience". smile

One of the best movies in terms of flight scenes.

Story is stupid, the flying is awesome.

Nailed it. Beautiful flight scenes. It is just as bad as Flyboys as far as plot, acting and special effects, but the cinematography is incredible, but the movie sucks, but its awesome jets flying scenes, but the movie sucks, but... well you get the picture.

The flying is also all real flying, not CGI:

Les Chevaliers du Ciel was filmed in co-operation with the French Air Force. Initially the standard safety rules applied, but eventually the minimum allowed altitude was reduced to 3 m (10 ft) and the minimum distance between aircraft was reduced to 1 m (3 ft).
