Mirage IV receiving fuel from....?

(1/2) > >>

Webmaster:
I found this photo in the gallery of http://www.mirage4p.com/ as you can see it shows a Mirage IV , probably the IV A, in the early days when they weren't just taking harmless piccies for the UN over Iraq. I was asking myself what the other aircraft in the photo is?

Zeke:
It's a Vautaur isn't it...no that should be Votaur...oh dammit something like that anyway... ;)

elias_b:
Exactly, it's a Vautour(Why do French write so complicated?! >:() , wich served in the Armée de l'air  from the mid-50s till mid-70s.

Webmaster:
Ah yes. Interesting, I didn't know much about other than the Israeli's flew it. I found a good website on it: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Launchpad/1467/index.htm

Goose:
Yes the IDF was fairly successful with the Vautour during the 1967 war I think it was. One of them even got an air to air kill over Syrian MIGs during a strike on the MIG airfield.
