Maybe it's because "we" have wars to fight, and thus a purpose, whereas the neutral Swiss and the French, have nothing better to do than the Lugano Air Show...
Riiiight, because the French never do anything but eat bread and drink wine. Please.

I'm specifically referring to the act of filming these videos, not the low level tactics...Riiiight, because the French never do anything but eat bread and drink wine. Please.
I asked my roommate last deployment (a Hornet guy). The answer is one word: Tactics.
European military's are still training to extreme low-level in order to mitigate a sophisticated IAD of the old Warsaw Pact nations. We've moved on and developed new TTPs, so there's no reason for us to continue to train to that level.
Also I was unaware that French had an overseas military presence comparable to the United States...
I maintain that THIS is the coolest fly-by video.
That must be photoshopped -- look how low the nose is
We went through this a few years ago the last time the B-52 picture was posted.That must be photoshopped -- look how low the nose is

It is not a photoshop. B-52's fly nose down like that. In fact, they also climb nose down. Search for a video of one doing a t/o or go around and you will see.
