As part of a Taceval in the 70s, the Belgian Mirage wing at Liege had to qualify each squadron in FRA (First Run Attack) strafe at Nordhorn. Confident in the prowess of one of their Mirage pilots, who was always a 'high percentage scorer', one of the squadrons despatched him at the head of a stream of Mirage Vs to Nordhorn where he successfully qualified well inside the NATO standard. Having completed his FRA, he then exited the range and orbited at Lingen whilst the rest of the squadron approached the strafe targets from the north making the usual callsign exchanges with the range controller. However, as each aircraft approached abeam Lingen, they each broke out from the range pattern whilst the squadron strafe 'ace' picked up their callsign and pitched in for another FRA, scoring highly on each pass
