Insights

Aviation History

The Dassault Mirage F1 is a French fighter and attack aircraft first flown in 1966 and widely exported. Used by many air forces and significant as a non-delta-wing Mirage model.

Fleet Rarity

Very rare in active use — retired from military service in most countries; a few remain with private contractors for adversary training in the U.S.

Record Flights

Has seen combat use in several conflicts (e.g., Iran-Iraq War, Western Sahara), no major civilian record flights.

Safety & Events

F1s have been involved in various combat incidents and have had both combat losses and peacetime accidents.

Future Outlook

Surviving aircraft are either in museums or operated by commercial adversary air support firms (e.g., Airborne Tactical Advantage Company/ATAC, Draken International).
