  Mirage F.1
The Legend !
The Mirage F.1 proved to be a good design, as evidenced by the long record of service !
Base Aerienne 112 Reims Squadron will be partly lifted around 2011, the F-1 will remain up to 2014 in service 
The Mirage F-1 dates from the seventies, when there was a need to replace the Mirage III
m
Mirage F-1B in standard colors, and an Alsace F-1B in Special colors, both ER02-033 Sqn
A fine F-1C with 'Belfort ER-1/33'on the fuselage due to the lifting of this squadron, here at the platform
The 'Belfort' is being prepared for flight
Some 15 minutes later there she goes ! Just a little bit extra !
 
Mirages F-1 CR with ELINT, both in standard camouflage
 Due to 67th anniversary of the 'Group Alsace' these fine colors were demonstrated in flight
Mirage F-1CR flies a recce mission with his ELINT pod, used in Afghanistan, Tchaad, Serbia and Bosnia

Some platform views
Not equipped with night-vision, the F-1 is very capable still in other tasks of modern warfare
The F-1 is a good teacher for the cadets, you can 'really learn to fly'in this machine
French Airforce also 'exports' it's training, for Moroccan Airforce pilots
A view at the maintainance halls...
 
... and what do you do when you don't fly: Watch your collegues fly !
mEnd of the impression, end of flight. Thanks for you interest !!
