QA89 in close formation with QA97 over Corniche, Doha during the rehearsals of the National Parade in 2019. The Mirage 2000s are assigned to 7sq and were 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 The Mirage 2000s have now been replaced by Rafales.
