French Top Gun

Can anyone tell me anything more about this French Top Gun style movie
http://www.leschevaliers-lefilm.com/site/intro.html

Apparently called skyfighters in Germany and some Les Chevaliers du Ciel (knights of the sky), I dont speak french but can understand some of the site like the synopsis (sort of )

heres how google translates the synopsis

Quote:
Aeronautical show of Farnborough, England. Whereas it was in full demonstration, a Mirage 2000 disappeared above the North Sea. The captains Antoine Marchelli and Sebastien Vallois are immediately sent patrols some to find the plane.
They are not long in seeing the 2000: it flies dissimulated under an Airbus of Qatar Airways. The pilot of the Mirage located, it placed himself in position of combat. Marchelli and Vallois receive the order to give up the continuation without delay. Too much late! The 2000 are about to cut down Vallois. Marchelli will have to eliminate it to protect its team-member.
This incident is the prelude of a gigantic handling. With the key, the diversion of a French fighter to fine terrorists. A handling whose last act will be played one July 14 in the sky of Paris, with the top of the Fields-Elysées.

Another foreign film with some flight sequences, this time from Sweden with Saab AJ 37 Viggens

Called 'Älskar, älskar inte'

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115073/


and apparently there is a 1967 version of 'Les Chevaliers du ciel' as well, based on some french comic book.
