Pakistan Air Force Dassault Mirage III Fighters In Egypt

Post by Abbas Ali »

Beautiful line-up of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Dassault Mirage III fighters photographed at an operational air base on October 16, 2009. The PAF Mirages are in Egypt to take part in Bright Star 2009 training exercises. The fin of these Mirages is sporting emblem of PAF's No. 7 Squadron.

I love PAF Mirages :heart:

It will be interesting to know whether these photos were taken in Egypt or in Pakistan before flight to Egypt. The photo's background (vegetation area) looks like slightly photoshopped.

In serial number of these Mirages, like for example '90-535', number '90' represents year 1990 in which these Mirages were purchased by Pakistan in used condition from Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

In recent times, these Mirages have been modified/upgraded according to PAF requirements.

The No. 7 Squadron was equipped with these Mirages in 1997.

Great Shots! Thank you Salman for sharing.

I hope PAF also managed to get its Mirage III fighters photographed over famous Egyptian landmark i.e. great pyramids of Giza located near Cairo.

What are you talking about? Where do you see Pyramids in any of the aircraft pics.

The 5 Mirages with Turkish F-16 leading , seems to flying the V-Formation aka as echelon formation.
