Rank 74 in the Aviation Heroes collection, this print treats the Dassault Mirage F1C as the swept-wing interceptor France built between delta Mirage III heritage and the Mirage 2000 era — not as interchangeable Cold War filler. EC 2/33 Savoie at Reims-Champagne (BA 112) flew Mirage F1s through the 1980s when the type still carried France's day-intercept mission with Cyrano IV radar and Matra Super 530 missiles. Reims was the first Armée de l'Air base to host the Mirage F1 on type entry in 1973, and the Savoie unit's red-cross-and-boar emblem traces squadron lineage back to Reims airfield traditions. Here the F1C sits in clean technical profile: French roundels on the wings, 2/33 on the tail, and that unmistakable swept-wing planform collectors spot before they read the sidebar.
