Photo Comment

Stored awaiting preservation, still with the commemorative markings for the back seat ride given to Ayrton Senna da Silva 21 March 1989 and the first commander of the 1°GDA, Cel. Antonio Henrique "Jaguar 01".It is now preserved at the MUSAL, Dos Afonsos. The aircraft itself was a former French Air Force Mirage IIIBE serial 271, obtained by Brazil in 1983 and delivered 24 February 1984. As with most Mirages, its construction number is unknown. They simply started a sequence for the duals with 201. So this is the 71st Mirage IIIBE.
