In 2002, Armee de l'Air Escadron de Chasse 2/5 Ile de France marked the 60th anniversary of the Free French Air Forces with a specially painted Mirage 2000B trainer. The aircraft featured commemorative markings honoring the squadron's wartime heritage and the legacy of Free French aviators during World War Two. Based at Orange Air Base, EC 2/5 operated the Mirage 2000 in air defense and training roles. The special scheme combined modern Mirage styling with historical insignia and anniversary artwork, creating a striking tribute to one of the French Air Force's most distinguished fighter squadrons.
Designed as a lightweight fighter for the French Air Force, the Dassault Mirage 2000 was first flown on March 10th, 1978. The Mirage 2000 is a fourth generation fighter based on the Mirage III. It has a delta wing, one engine, a dual-intake, and can carry a range of air-to-surface weapons, including laser-guided bombs. Variants include a single-seat or dual-seat version. The dual-seat 2000N is nuclear strike capable, armed with nuclear weapons and equipped with navigation avionics that are capable of handling air-to-ground munitions. The Mirage 2000C is a single-seat, all weather interceptor armed with high firing rate 30mm guns. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Hobby Master's 1:72 scale Mirage 2000 is a sleek diecast model with crisp panel lines, manufactured with only the smallest amount of plastic. The side mounted engine intakes with fixed inlet cones are constructed in plastic for greater accuracy and the configurable canopy provides a clear view of the instrument panel, control stick and ejection seat. The rear turbine blades are easily seen inside the exhaust nozzle and the large refueling probe is mounted on the nose (in most releases). The thin yet solid metal wing features exceptional panel line details, flap and aileron actuator arms at the rear and a complete set of removable wing mounted ordnance.
