Operating Libyan dawn brought deployments to the Mediterranean area. The one at Souda (Crete, Greece) was the most interesting one. The multi-state NATO-led coalition began a military intervention - Operation Unified Protector - in and over Libya. The Qatari Emeri Air Force deployed five Mirage 5EDAs and one 5DDA. This 5EDA of 7sq is seen fully armed with air-to-air missiles. The QEAF only flew Combat Air Patrols (air defence) during the operation, to prevent Libyan military aircraft to take off. They always flew in formation with French Mirage 2000s as Qatar was not used to NATO operations.

Fine study of an live armed Mirage 2000-5F of the Armée d l'Air. The delta was deployed in support of Operation Unified Protector in and over Libya.

Kodachrome 200. Not my favourite film, but the extra speed could be useful

A formidable weapons package! Wearing N124 "Tête de Sioux" badge from EC 2/4 "La Fayette" but 'SA' is not a military code from EC 2/4 !
