Super Etendard Retirement and cool video

[Viggen]

Well, after nearly forty years of service with the French Navy, it looks as though the Dassault Super Etendard has finally been retired. The aircraft took part in one last cruise against ISIS over the winter before making its final carrier launch in March. It was officially withdrawn from use in July.

 

The aircraft continues to serve with Argentina in limited numbers.

 

As for the video, it's a classic French tactical aviation video. Low level awesomeness and good on boards.
