They are the spearhead of the French army, at the forefront of all fights. They are called the "Knights of Heaven". They are the fighter pilot of the Naval Aviation. These extraordinary men, joined in recent years by women, risk their lives in the service of peace. From Bosnia to Afghanistan to Kosovo, they are able to intervene urgently in the most dangerous theaters of war. A few months ago, they reportedly spotted Osama bin Laden and his henchmen in the Afghan mountains and reportedly passed the information to the US authorities. Discreet, efficient, they have the reputation of being the best in the world. We followed them in operation on the aircraft carrier Charles-de-Gaulle, off Pakistan. Catapulting exercises, landing gear, low-flying flights, refueling in flight, they are capable of all the prowess. These extreme pilots withstand the fastest accelerations (0 to 250 km / h in two seconds, twice the acceleration of a Formula 1 ...) and the most dizzying descents. Subjected to such physical constraints, ordinary mortals faint. Not these professionals who remain successful in all circumstances. In case of a problem, they only have a fraction of a second to eject from their device. How does one become a fighter pilot? At the end of a ruthless selection. Thus, at the Naval Aviation School in Brittany, apprentice pilots are eliminated without any call for failure. For them, then collapses the dream of a lifetime. For others, he continues. These elite pilots will one day be able to land on an aircraft carrier, or continue their career as a test pilot at the controls of the fighter planes of the future. This exceptional Emergency Call invites us alongside the most experienced pilots aboard the state-of-the-art fighter jets.
