French Air Force Jet Buzzes Past Cruise Ships

Passengers on two cruise ships sailing near Bermuda captured dramatic video of a jet owned by the French Air Force flying at low altitude overhead. The aircraft involved in the June 23 and 24 flypasts was identified by Bermuda’s Department of Civil Aviation as a French Air Force Dassault Falcon, according to local news website Bernews.

Some passengers were unimpressed by the French pilot’s aerobatics. “Whoever was the pilot of the Falcon, was either a terrorist who was spying on us, marine training, or a dumbass rich dude who’s showing off his new aircraft,” said Richard Ogle in a comment on his YouTube video of the incident. Others, including the Kate McCue, captain of the Celebrity Summit cruise ship, shared their appreciation of the pilot’s fancy flying. Credit: YouTube/Richard Ogle
