Mirage 2000N, manufacturer serial number 315, was registered as 353 with the Armee de l'Air and coded 125-AM with Escadron de Chasse 2/4 La Fayette at Istres, the squadron descended from the American volunteers of the First World War Lafayette Escadrille. Previously flown by EC 2/3 Champagne as 3-JS, 353 became a Ramex Delta display jet and flew a solo routine at RIAT 2015 after its partner aircraft returned with a bird strike. For the La Fayette centenary in 2016 it was painted with the Indian-head insignia on the fin and U.S. and French flags underneath, and flew Ramex Delta's final public display at RAF Fairford on 8 July 2016. France retired the 2000N from nuclear alert in 2018.
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.
