Itkovian Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Wow, very nice. Fun flight to follow on Google Maps. :) Also, interestingly this seems like it's a 2000C, I didn't know France still flew the old school Cs (only 1 MFD, like our version).

jojo Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 There is still one squadron, its main purpose is to train new Mirage 2000 pilot with Mirage 2000B (like the video above) and Mirage 2000C. Secondary task are: - QRA - bomb truck with GBU-12 alongside Mirage 2000D in Africa. Front line air defense fighters are now Rafale and Mirage 2000-5F in FAF. Mirage fanatic !

Knock-Knock Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Pardon my ignorance, but how come he is working the throttle so much, being the flight lead? Flying to a set speed? I can see he has a Mirage on his right, slightly behind, and he would be the one Id expect to do 'all' the work? - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweet Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Knock-Knock, two seconds in you can clearly see he is on the left wing of another jet. Look just above and to the right of the mirror. Don't feel bad I missed it too and was asking myself the same question. I was sightseeing and not looking in the 'pit. It was during my second time through that I picked up that he was not alone. I've flown the arrivals and departures to CDG dozens of times. Although they don't get as close to Paris, the additional altitude gives you a really nice look at the city.

Britchot Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The other sign that he was the wingman is the fact his head was glued to the right, not moving at all. But yeah, his helmet obscures the lead for most of the video.

QuiGon Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Using Tablets with GPS maps for older aircraft that don't have moving map displays is generally becoming more and more common in western air forces.

Britchot Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I know I'm not subjected to the same amount of regulatory restrictions as a military pilot is when I'm in the Citabria 7KCAB but I carry my iPad mini on my leg with a Bluetooth GPS receiver on the glare shield. It's equipped with ForeFlight, which is approved by the aviation administration for navigation. It has almost completely replaced my paper kneeboard, though I still keep it as a backup. I use the same program for approach plates in aircraft I fly that have moving maps, however the Citabria doesn't even have a transponder, much less a moving map display ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] CPU - Intel 8088 @ 4.77 MHz; Memory - 128KB; 360KB double-sided 5 1/4" full-height floppy disk drive; 10MB Seagate ST-412 hard drive JG-1 MiG-21bis Checklist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
