Additions to the log of October 13th:

Mirage 2000C 93/12-YA took off in in the morning, heading for Orange.

Other Mirages seen this day:
85/12-LI (on platform)
105/33-LJ (in sunshed, ex-Djibouti hence the '33' code)

Besides the four F-16's you logged there should be a fifth one somewhere in a maintenance hangar.
Greetz,

Patrick

In Djibouti there is a squadron deployed (EC 4/33 Vexin) with Mirage 2000D and Mirage 2000C (used by Cambrai). So the exact code for the EC 4/33 Vexin in Djibouti is 33-Lx.
In this case the bird that you have seen, come from or will go to Djibouti
