RAAF Knucks on SBS 2000 Wed - 6 Part series

[Capn Bloggs]

So, we're going to see where all our hard-earned taxes are going: "Top Gun Boot Camp" as the Sunday Times calls it! These plastic parrot drivers with all their gizmos are girls: not like the real men and their real machines:

That could be the gayest thing ever posted on this website.

I hate to say it but the frogs fly their F1s and 2000s a lot lower in this fully sic video although the soundtrack isn't much better than 75 SQN's "All I Need is a Miracle."

Knucks everywhere should all hang their heads in shame for that one...

Mirage designations

"thread creep mode on"
"tongue in cheek mode on"

I cant figure out the various Mirage designations, can anyone please help me out on this?
Whilst I can grasp that all the aircraft models are named Mirage, I am having trouble working out how the Mirage 2000 is so named (and already flying, and getting export orders). I thought it might refer to the year 2000, but then the RAF's Nimrod 2000 hasn't even been built yet! so surely it cant be this, can it?

Ahh memories..

In its day, the clip was OK, and Fish did a neat job. At least the Sqn had a good time in its last few years in Darwin. Tequilla Sunrise anyone?

As to the name Mirage 2000 , i think it refers to the amount of months that the french have failed to take part in a war
