Istres 2005 - Dassault Mirage IV

view map

Mirage IV 'CF' with a farewell livery stating that between 1964 and 2005, the type flew 337 000 hours, carrying the nuclear weapon at the begining of it's life and ending its career as a reconnaissance aircraft.
The 'CF' code on this plane was used to spell the words 'C'est Fini' which mean it's finished.
