BOOM ran a keyword search on Dassault Rafale and found an extended video with the same visuals, which was uploaded on YouTube on September 30, 2016 by PaddyPatrone, an aviation vlogging channel from the platform. According to the description of the video, the uploader had filmed the footage in 2016, in Zeltweg, Austria.

The description reads, "Dassault Rafale | MOST BRUTAL JET DISPLAY EVER - I filmed this at the 2016 Airpower in Zeltweg, Austria. I can tell you, this was the hardest filming I did so far. Man that aircraft screamed like hell."

We reached out to Germany-based Patrick Nern who confirmed that the original video of the airshow was filmed by him at 2016's Airpower 16, in Zeltweg, Austria.

BOOM also found another video of the same event which was uploaded on September 5, 2016 on YouTube by Zseraldin Komlosi with the caption, "AirPower 16 ZELTWEG - Dassault RAFALE"

Österreichischer Rundfunk, an Austrian national public service broadcaster stated that the airshow was scheduled to be organised on September 2 and 3 that year. It reported "Airpower16 will take place in Zeltweg on September 2nd and 3rd under the motto 'We're flying to Austria.' With 240 aircraft from 20 nations, Airpower16 is not only the second largest event in Austria, but also one of the largest air shows in Europe."
