Photographer: Stephan Kunz - one of the first painted grey

Delivered to the Schweizer Flugwaffe on 8 November 1966. It was repainted and modified with canards in 1991. J-2311 was the "gold" goodbye Swiss Mirage 3S at Buochs-Ennetbürgen to symbolize the golden era. The aircraft was stored from March 2000 at Buochs and eventually scrapped at Stans. J-2311 is seen here with live missiles during its take-off from Dubendorf. The badge on the tail represents Fliegerstaffel 16. When the squadron became a militia unit the Fliegerstaffel 16 badge started to reappear. The Mirage carried a Fliegerstaffel 17 badge on the other side.
