| ALSEEN, ALSEEN(@)GMAIL.COM, 31.05.2008 There have been many conversions and alterations made to the venerable Mirage III airframe and the Atlas Cheetah is yet another one. The Atlas company from South Africa have upgraded the airframe with a new nose extension housing better avionics and radar equipment, dog tooth leading wing edges and of course the canards on the shoulders of the intakes. The Atlas Cheetah D version is the two seat version (the Cheetah C is the single seat) doubling up as both a two-seat fighter aircraft and trainer. |
