An early, original-configuration Pakistan Air Force Dassault Mirage IIIEP in classic service markings, in flight over the snow-capped mountains of northern Pakistan.

The sleek delta-wing fighter banks gently left at high altitude against a clear blue sky. Its upper surfaces wear the classic disruptive camouflage of dark olive green and medium brown, while the undersides remain light blue. The Pakistani national flag stands out clearly on the vertical fin, a roundel marks the forward fuselage, and the white code “109” is painted on the rear fuselage just ahead of the engine exhaust.

External stores with red-tipped noses hang beneath the wings. The pilot is visible in the cockpit as the aircraft cruises high above a vast, rugged range of snow-covered peaks stretching to the horizon.
