Here a short video of Hopsten F-4's rotating with French AF Mirage V's. I guess this was somewhere in '94, but I don't know exactly, so if anyone had got some more info on that....

Re: [vid]Hopsten F-4's rotate with French Mirage V's
I was there the last day of this rotation. Arrived just in time ( or should I say too late..) to see the last Mirage take-off for its homebase. This was on the 22nd of October 1993. So I guess you taped this in the week or weeks preceding that..
Remember going to Hopsten by bike from Rheine station

Very nice video. What a time..the Colmar Mirage 5F and IIIBEs were phased out some months later, early 1994....
Thanks for sharing!
