I'm an F1 fan too!

You may think the Greeks can't afford fighters, and you'd be right! Like the Fiat 500L, this is just a Mirage.

This, however, is a Mystère.

I take my F1 as the Kosher option

Funny, many choose the Halal option.

We also like little Fiat coupes as well.

Saw a pair of these beauties at an airshow last year. Too bad Spain already decommisioned their F1s, and the last examples in Europe are to leave active service this summer.

Sure, there will be some left in Africa and Iran, but I doubt I'll have a glimpse of those.

Technically, the Kfir was based on the Mirage V, not the F1.

But the F1 is a Mirage V successor

True, but the IAF never flew the F1, just the IIIC. They had ordered the V, but it was later embargoed, so IAI "obtained" plans and built the Nesher and Kfir.
