Tribute To "Baba" - Dassault Mirage IIIEP 101, Nicknamed "Baba" In Repair At Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) In Kamra In The 80's.
The "Baba" Was Lost In An Accident In 2007, After 40 Years Of Service With The Pakistan Air Force Since 1967, Being The First Mirage Of The Batch Of 18 Mirages Initially.
The tale of the service that Mirage has given to PAF is nothing short of spectacular. Serving the nation for more than five decades alone is no ordinary achievement. That’s why all the unsung heroes who flew this bird in its heydays deserved nothing less than a standing ovation. And this is what they received in a dignified ceremony held in February.
The President of Pakistan was present at the occasion to honour the distinguished services of the units, veterans and senior operators of this ‘Miracle Mirage’. As this rugged platform becomes 50 years strong, it continues to pose an enormous threat to the adversary.
Its sterling performance during Ops Swift Retort in the recent past is just one of many glaring examples. Read more in our article PAF’s Miracle Mirages 50 Years Strong by S.Khalil
