This is what jet-powered history sounds like.

A Swiss Air Force Mirage IIIRS waking up from its slumber. This legendary recon jet is a rare beast—Cold War tech at its finest, still alive and growling.

No, the B-58 Hustler had 4 engines located under the wings. This is a Mirage IIIRS.

That's very cool.
The one I'd really love to see is the original Lightning. Absolute beast of a jet with a full min/max stats build.
