Mirage 2000 Newcastle 1991

Post by Ferrari » Sat Sep 17, 2011 12:26 pm

An interesting overshoot at Newcastle Airport on 11 April 1991 was a Mirage 2000.

Any ideas?

Hi Ferrari

I've checked all the Air NORTH records for this date and can't find anything like that for that date.

Yes - looking back it seems hard to believe but that's what I have written down. I seem to remember walking up the steps on to the viewng platform and catching a glimpse as it (or something else) overshot.

Thanks for looking (great magazine by the way!)

Mystery solved.

'Blast from the Past' in the January 2022 Air North magazine records the Mirage 2000 as 339, 'FAF4741'.

Worth waiting 31 years to get the serial!

Ferrari
