QA85 leading a formation of three Mirage 2000s (the EDAs are QA97 and QA98). The Mirage 2000s are assigned to 7sq and are recently sold to a French private company, Advanced REDAIR European Squadron (ARES), that will operate the twelve Qatar Emeri Air Force 2000s in a commercial Red Air training role. The QEAF ordered eight Mirage 2000EDA single seat and four Mirage 2000DDA (both a version of the Mirage 2000-5) in 1994. These aircraft were delivered from 1997 and replaced the Mirage F1 in their inventory. The Mirage 2000s are now replaced by Rafales and became surplus by the QEAF.
