Which PAF mirages do you consider to be the most visually appealing, in your opinion?

1 - Mirage 3 [E, original] - single seat
2 - Mirage 3 [OA, ex-Australian, Rose1] - single seat
3 - Mirage 3 EL [ex- Lebanese]- single seat
4 - Mirage 5 PA - single seat
5 - Mirage 5 PA2/3 - single seat
6 - Mirage 5EF - rose2/3 - single seat

My vote is for Mirage 5PA2/3

What is that chin mount under the rear section of the nose View attachment 188578

Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR)

Anybody here can correlate what happened to Mirage 5PA2/PA3 of No.8 Sqn? are they merged with No.50 Sqn or completely decommissioned?

Actually, i wanted to understand No.50 sqn equipment? what types they are operating?

Ex-Libyan Mirage 5
Pakistani Mirage 5PA
Pakistani Mirage 3RP

Its like a big squadron with hand me down non-upgraded mirages.

Also can old model mirage utilize ALCM?

No more 50 sqn. Just 22, 27 and 7.
