I was intercepted/ escorted last year by two Mirage 2000s.
Quite startling at first, he was close off the left side. Nothing on Guard, No advisory from Paris Control until I asked and then they told me to proceed.
Got TA on one guy on my tail and nothing on Lead. I pulled out my camera and got a shot of Lead off my 9 o'clock. He got pissed and pulled off and did a nice roll over us to the right side. Also took a shot of the fish finder (TCAS) with the wingman on my six (shoulda dump fuel and showed them
) Still have the pictures.
There were no RA and no altitude reporting from these Mirages on the display. Actually, Lead was never on the display not even an open diamond. We got the escorts all the way to landing. Beautiful VFR day, they showed up after about 50 nm feet dry north of Marsaille.
We must have looked pretty interesting to all the other airliners crisscrossing the sky.
Me - L1011, Them - 2 Mirage 2000s.
