    We were at Okaloosa Island this afternoon. A couple of F-22 flew by, soon after a strange jet flew over. I know it wasn’t a F-16. I’m a war plane buff, love model aircraft.
    Sure looked like a French F1 Mirage! Even had the inflight refueling probe sticking up near the cockpit. I think it NEAT!

    I use flighttrader24 to track the jets and air traffic some of the military planes don’t identify but I can confirm the mirages but is we them coming out of Pensacola not Eglin as far as the radar goes. They have a funny triangle shape on the radar
