Just curious, watched 4 military jets land on 36 in ywg today, just wondering if anyone knows what they are. Looked like A4 Skyhawks but I am not sure.

Anyone help me out?

Cheers

Saw the same ones followed by what looked like a tanker.

No it was not that.

The plane I seen had more of a delta wing.

Yup 4 of them landed at 3:40 local and was followed by a tanker.

Were they the blue BAE Hawks from NFTC Moose Jaw?

Dassault Mirage 2000

Could it have been these?

It could of been ATSI, they fly A4's. They are a combat air support training company from the states.

I saw the tanker too. Looked like a B707/KC135. Must have been U.S.

I was on 31 while they all landed on 36.

From what I can tell they were all French Mirages. As I rotated I saw them all holding short 31/13.

All of them had French accents.

Googled the mirage 2000 and it looks like thats the one. Nice looking plane for sure.

Thanks for the guesses.

I think it was Alphajets from what my wife described. Used by TOP ACES as bandits for the CFs.

Could have something to do with RED FLAG going on in the States right now. They had 10 Mirages and a tanker stop over in YWG a few weeks ago enroute to Nellis AFB I believe.
