Thanks for the video. I have some great memories of Mirages at airshows, including one where they had a solo FA18. I think the three Mirages still stole the show.
I remember being there as I was in 481Sqn at the time, I worked on the radar and we did a display of the radar in one of the hangars. I even got to see some Mirage live firing at the range once, they were doing cannon and live bomb practice.
From Sydney suburbs took me 2 hours to get out of the car park, we popped in to a place called Pelican Pizza at The Entrance for dinner and arrived home at midnight............well worth the effort.
They are Dassault Mirage iii's my dad used to repair the engines for them when i lived near williamtown in the 70's one of the prettiest planes in the air..
@@rodentflyingfilms7868 Dad was there 1970 to 1976 in 77 sqdn. we then posted to butterworth. so i got a lot of chances to look at them growing up ...cheers
What’s the aircraft doing the simulation, I’ve spent a lot of time overseas, lived on base where there were 2x12 F16s those crazy bastads would fire their cannon 100 ft over my house during exercises Talk about go rouge I’m surprised I had any windows left
I remember the RAAF Mirage. Suchg a beautiful aircraft. I do believe several of them are still flying in the Pakistan Air Force.
Awesome mate!.. thanks from across the ditch. 👍🇳🇿

Often a drama leaving RAAF bases after airshows! 😂
Thank You!
Cheers Trevor.
Are they C3's? Where did you find this footage? Amazing!

Glad you like it. They are the Mirage III O (I believe the "O" was for "Ostralia" :)). I took the footage when based at Williamtown in 1985.
@@rodentflyingfilms7868 Well done. Beautiful plane.

Wayne, they are Dassault Mirage III Os. All their weapons passes were dummy. Nothing fired/dropped. Just good timing with the fireworks on the ground.
