The Super Mystère Aircraft Collection
31

Three different pictures for a same aircraft ! Probably I had the hope that with the third appears what is missing on this tail: the SPA 89 black and yellow hornet and its white wings as met on aircraft of Fighter Squadron EC 1/12 'Cambrésis' during the Cambrai Tiger Meet six days earlier...
12-YC is Dassault Super Mystère B2 C/n 169. It seems that it never got another code during its life, otherly said it always remained with the same squadron, and ended operational life when 12th Fighter Wing replaced, during 1977, its SMB2s with Dassault Mirage F1Cs; the counterpart coded 12-YC was then a second-hand F1 herited as former 30-FC coming from the All Weather Fighter Squadron 3/30 'Lorraine'...
