The creazy Frensh / Mirage F-1

Hi everyone,

Back from holiday.

As I was arriving with a couple of friends in the south of France, we thought it might be a good idea to hit the beach as soon as possible since we had been driving for 14 hours half across Europe. So we went to the beach in Le Barcares (Port Barcares) and upon arrival the Armee de l’air had a surprise for me. The had send a single Mirage F-1 to fly parallel to the beach at a height of around 150 feet and some 250 feet (all estimates I didn’t bring along my tape measure with me this time 😉 ). Which brings me to my question, is this common practise or was the pilot checking out the local babes on the beach? Or was it a dream because I hadn’t had a sleep for 30 hours?

Greetings Jeroen
