Reserve troops exercise (Wiederholungskurs) at Buochs with Mirage 3RS R-2118 being readied for flight.

The Mirage shows its "Mata Hari" nose art. In the Swiss AF nose art is common on the last aircraft of a production series. In the background is the distinct church tower of Buochs.

Delivered to the Flugwaffe on 12 June 1969, nicknamed 'Mata-hari' (see nose section). The rercce Mirage was modified with canards in March 1991 and acted for this modification as a testbed at Bordeaux-Merignac (France). The Mirage made its last flight on 17 December 2003 and was stored at Buochs up to 2007. It was then preserved at the Flieger-Flab-Museum at Dübendorf.

A very rare sight: a Mirage at Turtmann. Turtmann was a reserve airbase just used by Tigers during their annual three weeks training course. This Mirage came for just one touch and go. Thanks!
