Air to Air with Mirage III

Post by Sharpeye Media » Thu Jul 18, 2019 6:49 pm

Hello,

my first post in this forum. Hope it is the right section for this.

Last year I had the opportunity to fly A2A with the Mirage III from Switzerland. Hope, you will enjoy ...

Love these shots. The Mirages were always my favourite type in the Swiss Air Force. I'm sure I saw that air craft at Emmen.
