Wiki

The Dassault Mirage III, is a family of single-seat, single-engine, fighter aircraft developed and manufactured by French aircraft company Dassault Aviation. It was the first Western European combat aircraft to exceed Mach 2 in horizontal flight.

Plane's Wiki

The Argentine Air Force deployed their Mirage IIIEA fleet during the 1982 Falklands War. Their ability to function as long-range strike aircraft was dramatically hindered by the type's lack of any aerial refueling capability; even when furnished with a pair of 2,000-litre (550-gallon) drop tanks to carry extra fuel, the Mirages (and Israeli-built Daggers) would be forced to fly up to the absolute limit of their range in order to even reach the British fleet from the mainland. Normally, the fighters would be sent to engage patrolling British Harrier jets and to provide air cover to a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk strike force; however, they would have no more than five minutes at most over the combat area before having to embark upon the return flight back to their airfields.

    your plane flies very smoothly but you should pay a little more attention to details such as decals, LG retraction so you can score better.

    @DieDieTheLoaf Bife already linked the correct version made by me, but I wanted to say that at least the mirage 2000 has an AoA limiter which limits it to 30 degrees, so cobras aren't a thing it can do unless there's an override switch (which there probably is)

    Ok a mirage doesn't pitch like a brick with taped paper wings. It should be able to perform a cobra as far as I'm concerned.
