French Air Force Mirage special colours 640"Just a nice Picture..."
 
On 14 October 2021, Escadron de Chasse 2/5 "Île-de-France", part of the French Air Force (Armée de l'air et de l'Espace), celebrated its 80th anniversary at Base Aérienne 115 Orange-Caritat, in the southern part of France.
 
For this special occasion, EC-2/5 Mirage-2000C 120/115-KC was painted in special colours to mark this event. EC 2/5 carries on the traditions of a fighter squadron created by Charles de Gaulle on 20 October 1941, as 340 (Free French) Squadron of the Royal Air Force.
