The 39th edition of the annual Tiger Meet was hosted by EC 1/12 at Base Aérienne 103, Cambrai, France. Between the 2nd and 8th of June several members of the NATO Tiger Association came to Cambrai for a week of combat training and social activities. Several units applied tiger schemes on the aircraft. Most impressive was the Mirage 2000 of the hosting unit EC 1/12. The eyes of a tiger were sprayed on the fuselage of the aircraft. Next year, in 2004, AG 51 will host the NATO Tiger Meet at their homebase Schleswig-Jagel. All the pictures are taken on Friday 6th of June.

Below you can see some of the few Mirage 2000's of the French Air Force that were present at Cambrai during the Tiger Meet. Mirage 2000RDI, 83/12-YL, was painted in a very attractive color scheme!

Another French Mirage that wears a special color scheme is this Mirage 2000-5F, 77/330-AX. It belongs to EC 5/330 which is based at Mont de Marsan.

EC 5/330 also provided some external fueltanks with toned down tigermarkings. Mirage 2000-5F, 43/330-AA, is seen here taxiing out from the flightline to the runway.

Despite of the fact that the emblem of 11 Flotille carries a sea horse (instead of a tiger, panther or a lion), this unit is already a member of the NATO Tiger Association since 1979. Super Etendard, 38, is seen here taxiing out for it's mission.
