Four Mirage III RS speeding up the valley for Ebenfluh Shooting Range, one aircraft of each patrouille is visible here. This version of the famous Mirage was called 'AMIR' in duty of Swiss Air Force, meaning AufklärerMIRage (Reconnaissance Mirage).
One of the biggest things in Engels - a Bison Tanker Aircraft still active in 1997 !
This beauty has stayed in Engels, one of only three known examples of the Bison preserved in Russia. The other two where in Ryazan AB and Monino Museum.
I never forget this afternoon when two Egypt Air Force Phantoms arrived at RAF Lakenheath enroute to the States for overhaul. Note the painted over roundels, US markings and old American serial 66-0366 applied.
