Small log from the large airbase

C-135FR 474 (+2)
Mirage F.1CT 243
Mirage F.1CT 272
AS.555AN code WB + WC
SA.330 ALAT

Because we could not read another Mirage F.1 that came in (around 19:00 hours), we went back the next morning. We found out that there was even a fourth one on the flightline.

You can see them from the North-side. Take the road to Dassault, along the perimeter fence.
The IL's can easily be seen, and for the SU's you can read the tails.
Go and get them (as I did ;-))!
