Or maybe Hangar 18... in Area 53?

Fixed serials on the pakistani air force Mirage 2k

And for those who also want to have the single-seated one... here you go:

According to CadeteBRA the bottom side of the plane is grey. Also were the planes on the pics I found on the net. I adjusted my skin and I hope that it's ok. The star has also been fixed. Just in case some of you might ask: "Why the heck are there no droptanks?" Simple answer: I haven't got any. They seem to have been wiped by my last cleaning of not needed aircraft armament - by accident of course. .

I only say "german double-engine doctrine" caused by the Starfighter-Desaster. Although nowadays the single-engined fighter planes are far more reliable as the fighters were back then.

I've invested soooo many hours in skinning and modding, that it would be shame not to share them with others.

Take yer time. Better slow and well done than fast with crappy result.

These will be uploaded. But I need to do some last corrections to the existing skins and then I'll upload them.

The star can be changed - no problem. I'll try and change the camouflage downside according to your infos.

I knew that we were talkin' about the real world. I was just referring to an earlier post.

If an export version for Greece is desired, I can work it out. Just gimme some time. Although the ASH would be an interesting addition.

Outstanding work of all you guys!!!

Depends on either buying them second hand from the US Navy or getting them factory fresh at a good price.

What about this precious bird as a new air superiority and attacker aircraft for the Força Aérea Brasileira? The planename at the tail will be changed, since I now saw a mistake in it.

Mirage 2000Bx - Bulgarian Air Force Big, big thanks to Svetlin for helping me out with these stunning decals for the bulgarian Mirage! Thanks mate!

Those ones are looking great, Alfie!

Looks really interesting!

@Svetlin Help with the serials would be highly appreciated. @SantroM Thanks for the remark! I'll change that ASAP.

Panavia/Mitsubishi F-3J Tornado - 302nd Hikotai - 1983

Sorry for having taken so long for updates but as some of you all might know, real life™ is sometimes a real b****. I don't think that I have to mention anything else. Mirage 2000Bx - New Zealand - 2nd Squadron 75th Squadron Mirage 2000Bx - Australia - 75th Squadron Mirage 2000BxF - El Salvador Mirage 2000BxF - Pakistan - 15th Squadron "Cobras" The bulgarian one only needs serial numbers and then it will be ready.

Hey Spillone Those Starfighters are looking completely aweseome! Of course. But during take offs and landings your bag has to be stored .

All characters appearing in this thread are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Please read the text first. It makes it more interesting! Farnborough, 15th July 2014 Planes from every era and every branch are standing on the fields and in opened hangars being watched by fans of aviation. One hangar stays closed with no name on it and no sign indicating its content. Michael Holte, journalist from FLUG REVUE has an appointment with the CEOs from Dassault Aviation (Francois Moyen) and Air France (Jean-Marie Petit), where both will probably announce a new joint venture in civilian transport. Since no information was leaked, Mr. Holte does not really know what he has to expect. Holte: Mr. Petit, can you please tell me what is it about that rumour, that both Dassault and Air France formed a joint venture for a new way of civilian transport. Petit: Well Mr. Holte, first of all I would like to ask you to keep all classified until we unveil what will be a new exclusive service of Air France. The official presentation is scheduled for tomorrow twelve o'clock. Holte: Of course. Petit: You maybe made the same experience once. You miss a plane for reasons you could not prevent and worse, you lose an important opportunity to get a great story. Well, the customers we want to serve in this new service are exactly those, who need to be elsewhere in short time. When you miss a plane and nothing else can bring you faster to your destination. When time and speed are essential! That's where our new service somes into action! Apart from flight schedules and standard flight routes, our new aircraft only needs open airspace to travel. We took several possibilities into consideration and we decided in favour of Dassault Aviation, supporting the french economy by the way (laughs). Holte: And what is this new plane? Mr. Moyen? Moyen: The plane is a heavily modified Mirage 2000B, now designated 2000AF. Holte: A Mirage 2000AF?! But how? Moyen: The plane has been stripped from all warfaring equipment, avionics have been reduced to serve navigational purposes only. The only things that have been left in the plane are the countermeasure dispensers. You never know when some hot jocks launch a missile at you (laughs). Holte: Have there been modifications to the engine? Moyen: The engineers at SNECMA managed to reduce the fuel usage by improving the combustion process by achieving a higher thrust, both dry and wet. Improvements were effectuated by using lighter and more resistant materials, which does also contribute to reduce the plane's weight achieving another reduction in fuel burn. We are speaking of net weight reduction of 9.7 percent by a thrust increase of 12.1 and a fuel usage reduction of 9.5 percent. Holte: Mr. Petit. How will this service be called, what will be the price for transportation and what services do you offer to the passenger? Petit: The service will be called V.I.P. Express Service. Prices for transport have not been fixed yet, but we think that they will be in the five-figure area, starting at around 20.000 euros. The onboard services are pretty small, since the plane does not offer a place for a stewardess (smiles). The passenger will be seated behind the pilot at the former WSO position. The passenger has the possibility to entertain himself with movies, music and internet. The plane sports a internetconnection via Satellite with 256bit-security, enabling the passenger to continue his work even in air. We are negotiating with several movie and music providers for streaming contracts to offer the passenger a widespread variety of media, including the newest movies and music. Holte: How about personal security of the passenger and who will pilot the planes? Petit: All passengers have to read and sign a disclaimer, that they know the risks of using this service and therefore neither Dassault nor Air France could be charged for any harms caused to the customer. In the case of being shot down or a massive malfunction of the plane, the ejection seats have been preserved but the ejection process can only be initiated by the pilot. This was added to prevent ejection of the passenger in panic leading to the loss of the plane. The pilots are all former Armee de l'Air pilots, which already flew the combat version during their career. This way we don't need to invest money and lose time training our civilian plane pilots. Holte: How much time will it take between the purchase of the ticket and taking off? Petit: We aim to get our customer in the air within one our after the signing of the disclaimer. Holte: What destinations will be offered? Petit: First we will serve inside France, but we plan to expand all over Europe if the service is accepted. We will now proceed to do some final checks and tests and think that we can start this service at the end of this year at latest. Holte: Thank you both very much for this interesting interview. Now I can't wait to see the plane! Both Moyen, Petit: Thank you. Petit: Remember. Tomorrow twelve o'clock. The next day at Farnborough, the great moment has arrived and the Hangar opens: Rolling to runway Entering runway Pilot and Passenger Closing canopies for liftoff Reached altitude and aproaching travel speed

So say we all!

Hey guys. No need to panic! You want air forces... you get air forces. @SayWhatt No pic of an australian bird doesn't mean that there can't be one. @allenjb42 2000BI would be the correct one for Israel I guess, because if you take a closer look on modern american fighters in israeli service like the F-15I Ra'am or the F-16I Sufa, the planes always have the "I" at the end of its designation. Same for the japanese planes. The F-4E is the F-4EJ in JASDF service and the F-15C and D are the F-15CJ and DJ respectively. @SantroM Believe it or not, but I was thinking of a pakistani one.

El Salvador is on my list.
