Yet another impressive aircraft that was retired some time ago: the Mirage 4P. A big beast, loved by its crew dispite the uncomfortable cockpit and anitique avionics. The first bomber squadron equipped with this Mirage was declared operational in October 1964. Due to its simplicity and little need of additional maintenance, even dispite its age, the '4' was active with the French air force for 41 years. Pictured is Mirage 4P 59/CF of ERS.01 (Escadron de Reconnaissance Stratégique :Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron), shortly after landing at Kleine Brogel in 1999.
