Only problem was...monkeys were flying the other planes.
Listen, the Mirage 2000 is equivalent to a Eurofighter (if you're lucky). Nothing more. The F16...yeah right, OK. How about the F22? How about the SU-35?
The Mirage 2000 doesn't need to be good, it'll never be combat tested just like all the other "world-beating" French fighters. In my opnion, the Mirage is just a mirage and is in actual fact made of balsa-wood and every photo you see of a Mirage in flight is photoshopped. The Mirage 2000 I saw at Farnborough was in actual fact a disguised SAAB Griffen...
...give it up...nobody takes French fighters seriously...
edit: actually scrap that. The Mirage 2000 is nowhere near as good as the Eurofighter. It's a piece of crap derived from a 1970s plane. Not only could it not beat an F16, I think I could shoot it down with a Cessna 172 and stones flung at it through the windows. Yes...such a good plane it's used by the premier airforces: Egypt, Greece, India, Peru (hey...those Llamas can be dangerous), Qatar and Taiwan.
