For this February-March 2026 issue, the editorial team presents the second part of a feature on the Mirage 2000, marking its 40th anniversary with the French Air and Space Force.
A rich and colorful issue, high in the sky… For this first issue (or second, depending on how you look at it) of 2026, the team at Air Fan magazine presents the second part of a long feature on the legendary Dassault aircraft, the Mirage 2000. Introductions, testimonials… The story of an aircraft that is still young, told by those who know it best!
Also in this late winter issue, we feature an interview with the Gendarmerie Air Section (SAG) in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, a look back at the EATC’s annual exercise, the European organization for the coordination and pooling of air transport and in-flight refueling capabilities, and a focus on the 31st Air Refueling and Transport Wing (EART) of the French Air and Space Force, created just over ten years ago.
Also not to be missed in this issue: the withdrawal of the Hungarian Army’s last Mi-24 helicopters, a tribute to the B-52 Stratofortress, a focus on the Romanian Air Force… Not to mention “air pranks,” reading recommendations from the editorial team, and news, including an F-22 Raptor inspired by the movie “Tron Legacy.” In short, a very nice summary for this issue 502!
