#1 The Mirage F1 was sold by France to Iraq in the 1980s. During Desert Storm, pilots in Iraq took them to Iran.

#3 the waste product from the OBOGS is whatever else is in the air, primarily nitrogen. dont know about this system but American set ups have different sized porrts to prevent connecting the N2 to the aviator. wouldnt it be too bad if Al-Murphy worked on those birds????

March 1994 - Taxiing to the terminal in a C-160, past scores of demolished RU aircraft and bombed hangers. There they were, sitting on a spotlessly clean pad. French Mirage jets, possibly 4-5 of them. Seemed criminal at the time.
