mirage

iv heard that the french mirage 2000 wont displaying next year is this true why is it

[Liveforriat]

I imagine because the French want to start to put the Rafale into the public eye. At present the Grippen, Eurofighter and Superhornet all have dedicated display aircraft and these are all competitors in the export market.

I also imagine that as the mirage display is so damn good they wouldnt want it showing up their new toy

As much I'm looking forward to finally seeing the Rafale, I'll be sad to see the Mirage go as it has one of the best displays around for a number of years.

Saw it for thlast time at Angers 2 weeks ago. Probably the best Fast Jet display of the year for me. Stunningly dynamic and lots of rolling at high speeds. Your last chance if "Down South" is to catch a Ryanair flight to Poitiers at the end of the month for the show there. Not sure what else is going but worth it just for the Mirage

So theres a chance it could end up at Biggin Hill 09' instead of the 2000
