Mirage 2000 video footage
Just found this footage of a Mirage 2000D on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU4hVUyrjJ4
Could someone confirm the following about the Mirage 2000 HUD:
i) Mach is displayed top left of the HUD in small numbers
ii) Radio altitude is displayed top right of the HUD in small numbers with an 'H' next to it
iii) The 'g' unfortunately isn't displayed on the HUD

Dont know if you understand french. But this could have been a huge case of CFIT. The front seat lost SA, did not realise he was in a dive!! They lost 6000 ft in a few seconds there, bottoming at 200ft. The rear seat screaming get out of the dive.

Having watched it a few more times, I reckon:
i) From 3000 feet until 1000 feet, they're doing Mach 1.00 to Mach 1.01
ii) The cloud-base seems to be about 800 feet
iii) They bottom-out at 170 feet radio altitude doing Mach 0.90
Imagine being on the ground and hearing a sonic boom followed by a Mirage dropping out of the clouds narrowly missing a forrest and then pulling-up back into the clouds.
