Naw, kulpims is right. Mirage F-1.
TLC - Waterfalls
I've never understood "Don't go chasin' waterfalls". They do realize that waterfalls actually exist, right? If you see one, and go towards it, you eventually reach it and can go jump in or drink or whatever. It doesn't run away, and there are lots of valid reasons you might want to go to a waterfall.
If the advice was about chasing a rainbow, or a mirage, or your tail, or touching the moon, or "being careful around the top of a waterfall" then maybe I wouldn't be too distracted by the lyrics to enjoy whatever you all are enjoying with this song.
Subway Ad in tunnel
This looks like Mirage Motion Media's product, I saw it pitched on an episode of CBC's Dragon's Den:

Looks very cool.
L'Animateur short by Nick Hilligoss
Great video The actual name is L'Animateur
He offers several versions for download.Here is the Author's description on StopMoShorts:
X-23B Nasa Experimental Craft
Music: I Got Levitation - 13th Floor Elevators.
And the rest of the story:
In 1962, FRC Director Paul Bikle approved a program to build a lightweight, unpowered lifting body as a prototype to flight test the wingless concept. It would look like a "flying bathtub," and was designated the M2-F1. It featured a plywood shell, built by Gus Briegleb (a sailplane builder from El Mirage, California) placed over a tubular steel frame crafted at the FRC. Construction was completed in 1963.
The success of the Flight Research Center M2-F1 program led to NASA development and construction of two heavyweight lifting bodies based on studies at the NASA Ames and Langley research centers--the M2-F2 and the HL-10, both built by the Northrop Corporation, Hawthorne, California. The Air Force also became interested in lifting body research and had a third design concept built, the X-24A, built by the Martin Company, Denver, Colorado. It was later modified into the X-24B and both configurations were flown in the joint NASA-Air Force lifting body program located at Dryden.
The X-24B design evolved from a family of potential reentry shapes, each with higher lift-to-drag ratios, proposed by the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory.
To reduce the costs of constructing a research vehicle, the Air Force returned the X-24A to Martin for modifications that converted its bulbous shape into one resembling a "flying flatiron" -- rounded top, flat bottom, and a double-delta planform that ended in a pointed nose.
First to fly the X-24B was John A. Manke, a glide flight on August 1, 1973. He was also the pilot on the first powered mission November 15, 1973.
Among the final flights with the X-24B were two precise landings on the main concrete runway at Edwards, California, which showed that accurate unpowered reentry vehicle landings were operationally feasible. These missions were flown by Manke and Air Force Maj. Mike Love and represented the final milestone in a program that helped write the flight plan for the Space Shuttle program of today.
After launch from the B-52 "mothership" at an altitude of about 45,000 feet, the XLR-11 rocket engine was ignited and the vehicle accelerated to speeds of more than 1,100 miles per hour and to altitudes of 60,000 to 70,000 feet. After the rocket engine was shut down, the pilots began steep glides towards the Edwards runway. As the pilots entered the final leg of their approach, they increased their rate of descent to build up speed and used this energy to perform a "flare out" maneuver, which slowed their landing speed to about 200 miles per hour--the same basic approach pattern and landing speed of the Space Shuttles today.
The final powered flight with the X-24B aircraft was on September 23, 1975. The pilot was Bill Dana, and it was also the last rocket-powered flight flown at Dryden. It was also Dana who flew the last X-15 mission about seven years earlier.
Top speed reached with the X-24B was 1,164 miles per hour (Mach 1.76) by Love on October 25, 1974. The highest altitude reached was 74,100 feet, by Manke on May 22, 1975. The X-24B is on public display at the Air Force Museum, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.

Royal Mirage is nicer - http://www.royalmiragedubai.com/
Rumour has it that the Sheikh built it as a palace for his Moroccan wife but she didn't like it so it became a hotel!

I thought I recognized that voice and style of speech.
This Mirage is from Grand-Illusions.com, where they have a lot of great video product reviews like this one.
Beautiful Jets Flying
Anyone one whats the song on this? I love the tinkling sounds. I must have watched this like 20 times now.
The first plane as far as I know is a BAe Hawk T1A, the second one looks like a Mirage IIIR... Anybody have any ideas?
awesome - jet fighter flying incredibly close to mountains (Swiss Air Force)
You're right. those are Mirage III RS. The swiss air force had 60 of them since 1965. ironically they received completely new electronics and computer systems (i bet expensive ones) shortly before they were dismissed in 1999. few of them served for training and reconnaissance until 2005. i had to deal with them during my military service in air defence, and though i'm kind of a pacifist and environmentalist, i have to admit they're both beautiful and impressive and it was fascinating to watch them.

Those are some really awesome images.
those look like Mirage fighters to me, but I'm not sure. Anyone out there know for sure?
