The Dassault Mirage F1 attack aircraft was designed and built as a successor to the Mirage III family.
The Mirage F1 has been used as a light multipurpose fighter and was exported to about a dozen nations. More than 720 F1's were produced.
Although the F1 has a smaller wingspan than the Mirage III, the F1 nevertheless proved to be superior. It can carry up to 43% more fuel, has a shorter take-off run and better maneuverability.
The Mirage F1 served as the main interceptor of the French Air Force until the Dassault Mirage 2000 entered service.
What a feeling it must be to feel the thrust, climb of this beauty.
