Don't think it is a deuce. Main fuselage too thin and aft fuselage too narrow and extends too far past the elevons. No fences on the wings. Probably some French pilot stopped in for a nooner. Edited makes more sense, if I ever do, now.

Take aother look at the wall paper scale drawing on the forum, The photo shows a white radom, But I believe I see the refuel receptacle in the proper relationship to the intakes................ Good photo..... The Old Sarge

Well, it may be a minor letdown that it ISNT an six, but hey, it was fun and informative for me.  Helps to train the untrained eye. This actually might erupt into a "wiki-quest" for me and keep me busy for hours. So I'm taking it this thing is some sort of distant, foreign, bastard cousing to our beloved six? I'm sure you can understand why I may have mistook it for that craft, it's got the nifty delta wing, the sleek fuselage with the cool dual intakes and a single engine. But I didn't work on t hese things, and my knowledge of them barely scratches the surface of most of the people here. That's why I'm having so much fun learning about these things.  |

I agree with Pat P probably a Mirage or something. The wing insignia's are not US, inatkes are too far forward, the ass-end is too long and the trailing edge of the Elevon area doesn't angle enough as it goes to the fuselage.

ditto, I agree definitely not a six--but you guys are the experts not me. Another clue is the shape of the fuslage, the 106 has more of a wasp shape to the fuselage.

The jet looks French but the markings could be Israeli. It is hard to tell from the photograph.

Huh??? AJ The markings on the wings. I can find less than a dozen countries that use a roundel with white centre. There are only a few where the ring is a solid dark colour. Of those only Pakistan appears to operate Mirages. Now the original picture shows an aircraft in a parking lot. It could be an overlay problem except the building's shadow falls across the aircraft. This indicates to me that the aircraft really is in a parking lot near a car. Perhaps the Google Earth photo is of a museum somewhere. |
