It's Mirage F1, not F-1

Nitpicking at its best 

Don't blame us, blame Dassault and Mitsubishi for naming aircraft similarly.
The F-1 and F1 are different aircraft. Words and speech mean things.

The aircraft name is "Mirage F1" and "Mirage" is actualy totaly part of the name. "F1" is kind of "variant" or "generation" of the same family (Mirage). That's why you have "Mirage III", "Mirage IV", "Mirage V", "Mirage 2000", etc. If you forget "Mirage", it is an error. Before "Mirage" family there were "Mystère" family, and now you have "Rafale" (and NOT the frequent misspelled "Rafael"). So, to be clear and strict, you have:

• Mitsubishi F-1
• Dassault Mirage F1
