Dassault F1 Mirage – Comparable Aircraft for F! era

Folks,

This is a msg I left on a Wiki TALK page dedicated to the Dassault F1 Mirage. But I will be d*mn if I can think of a comparable aircraft to the F1 — maybe gawd forbid the F-104G!!! Please say no.

I am not a Wiki-Fanatic or a Wiki-Delete Barney Fifth; but a listing of comparable aircraft as the F-5E/F, the Mig-21 and Mig-23 is wrong. Totally wrong! The F-5E is crippled by a short range, with any payload. As the Canadians say “It can take off and have the range to bomb its the end of it own runway and land.” The Mig-21 is a point interceptor with almost no payload and range! And the Mig-23 technically is equal somewhat, but is in it own category with its adjustable swing wing.
