  History

  One of the most beautiful aircraft which was operated in the Greek Air force history is the Dassault Mirage F.1CG. 

  Greece operated 40 Dassault Mirage F1CG single seat aircraft. F1CG was first ordered in 1974 and entered service with the Hellenic Air Force in 1975. The first Mirage F.1 (sn 101) landed in Tanagra Base in August 5th 1975.  The aircraft were used by 334 Squadron and 342 Squadron. Mirage F1CG was armed with the Sidewinder AIM-9P missile, rather than the most commonly used Matra Magic II, and it could carry four AIM-9Ps, rather than just two.

  The Hellenic Air Force retired the remaining 27 Mirage F1CGs on 30 June 2003 after 28 years of service and 160 000 flying hours.

  I had completed that project back in 2005 and I had been commended in the annual exhibition IPMS-Hellas in Athens. I exhibited six Mirages because two of them had fallen down and had been destroyed. Today I show you all eight aircrafts one by one completed and I hope to enjoy them.

  Just delete any of the boxes below you don't need.....it's not important to include them.....they are there to give you an idea of the finished article.  It is best to limit your article to no more than 60 or so photos, so the finished webpage won't take too long to open.
