Could it be an Iraqi Mirage or one from some other country around there? Then it could be a kill.

Like the Allied Forces painted swastika's on their planes for every German plane they shot down ..

I am looking forward to make a flight with a peruvian AF Mirage 2000... maybe in the weekend it will be in payware forums ;)

Not too much time with all this work from school :'( :-[

Then could you explain the US flag, Brian?

Yup...the plane was part of a excercise at Red Flag, Nellis AFB in Nevada.  I happened to be down there with one of the U.S. Navy EA-6B squadrons that usually particpate in the excersise as we are the ONLY aviation electronic warfare asset in the DOD.  

We'll I see these Frenchy Mirage's on the flight line and have to remind them where they are at...so being the troublemaking American sailor that I am, I walk out to the French line when they aren't looking at "tag" the side of the bird with an American flag sticker....common pratice in mulitnational or mulitservice exercises Harold.  ;D

There case solved....LOL.
