Mirage over Japan

Recommended Posts

Once in a blue moon I like to take a ride in this sports car, my M2M Mirage 2000. She is wearing the eye catching livery of Japanese Self Defence Force. I am flying this baby so slow that it has auto-deployed the spoilers, its the effect of flying DC3s and C46s all the time. I remember long ago flying in a fixed wing aircraft with a helicopter jock in control, and how he used to bleed the speed on short final to the extent the stall warnings start to shout and me begging him to add power. Sorta draws parallels with when someone like me flies a supersonic fighter.

Happy new year to all of you folks. :pilot: :cool::cool:

That's a beautiful Mirage Khalid! :cool::cool::cool: I have the same problem btw...:D

 

Thank you Jan, yes I had the throttle less than a third open and she's doing 320 Kts. Sorry but I wasn't cut out for speed it seems.

 

Happy new year Khalid!

btw didn't know Japan air force were flying our Mirage 2000. Great!

 

Ah cher ami Gérard tu as raison! the packaged text file with the download says it's a fictional repaint by Christoph Tantow. It looks good in any colours, its a Mirage! :cool:

Very nice, indeed, Khalid! You got to get out and "feel the need for speed" once in awhile! Get the veins swelling and the heart pumping!

Very nice bird, enjoy! And, Happy New Years. Not knowing the time difference, you may very well have already welcomed 2020?
