Damn, that is cool..!
And this is surrender switch which deploys white flag.....
Is there a white flag surrender pod attached?
Great minds...
Our C-130 copilot was a Canadian Leftenant on loan from the RCAF. He was one interesting dude but that was before they all became “Canadian Forces - Forces Canadiennes”.
Cool plane. Perhaps we will see an “incident” of unidentified Mirage fighters attacking something that needs killin’.... Wonder if the foreign legion has pilots...
I count five 2,000 lb. bombs coming off that F-15E. Five tons of hurtling steel and high explosive would put a crimp in anyone’s day.
They’re back to RCAF
That Mirage would have looked right at home on the ramp at Udorn, in 1970,

One time during a pre-flight at the plane, our wing commander came by to show the flag and just about choked on the salute.
There’s plenty of hostile countries that fly Mirages, the French will sell to anybody. It’s probably a good idea to know how they handle and how to defeat them.
Is there an aircraft under all of that?
Too funny! I bet he did. Was he a bird colonel or a one star?
Do our guys have to learn Arabic before they can understand the lessons on the French planes?
So stupid. The French military has surrendered less than the British overall, and took more casualties in WWI by far. We hear on an on about Flanders fields, and the 744,000 poppies etc for the Brits. The French lost 1.1 million battle dead and 1.3 million from all causes. The Brits lost 1.9% of their population while the French lost 4.29%.
Or Maybe you mean WWII where they lost 200,000 dead soldiers, again far exceeding British war dead per capita.
Meanwhile the Brits fled the battlefield at Dunkirk leaving the north flank exposed. The Brits at Singapore surrendered to a Jap force one third their size. Yet we never hear about tea sipping surrender monkeys.
“There’s plenty of hostile countries that fly Mirages, the French will sell to anybody.”
Yeah, because we would never sell weapons to Saudi Arabia, UAE, Pakistan, Turkey, Indonesia, etc...
I love the old Cold War paint camouflage. That is a cool picture and serious hurt. The B-52’s and A-10’s painted in green are just as awesome looking.
