Captured after an air to air refueling from a Transall C-160 NG in a typical hazed sky over Chad. This Jaguar wears the Fighter Squadron "Ardennes" markings (EC 03-003). It was also the unique Jaguar to drop a nuclear tactical weapon (AN 52) in real conditions in Mururoa range during the operation "Maquis" in July 1974. Now reported stored in Chateaudun air base.
