Iranian experts in Shahid Nasser Habibi air base in Northeastern Iran overhauled two mirage F-1 fighter jets, the Air Force announced on Sunday.

The overhauling operations of the two fighter jets took 45,000 man/hours of work.The two aircraft joined the Iranian Air Force fleet after their test flights. we received these fighters without their Handbooks & Manuals.

Iran announced in June that its experts in Shaheed Fakouri air base in Iran's Northwestern city of Tabriz are overhauling different types of aircraft, including the strategic Mig-29 and F-5 fighter jet.

"The (country's) second air base is in a high state of preparedness by overhauling its Mig-29 and F-5 fighter jets highly effectively and manufacturing different plane parts," General Massoud Rouzkhosh said.

"Considering Iran and the region's strategic and sensitive geographical situation, the armed forces should always remain in a state of full operational readiness," the pilot added.

In August 2012, a Mig-29 fighter jet of the Iranian Army conducted its test flight successfully after being overhauled by local experts.

The aircraft which was down for 12 years could experience its first flight after it was overhauled at Shaheed Fakouri air base, which took 21,000 man/hour of work.

The Iranian experts spent 24 months to overhaul the strategic fighter jet and mounted three types of modern electronic systems onto the aircraft in a bid to increase its technical and backup capabilities.
another glory of our Air force is overhauling it's F-14s with a record of overhauling in 40 days.

30 years ago and after our revolution when American mercenaries leaved Iran, they were sure Iran's Air force would be shut down, cause Americans had the full control of maintenance, and repair process and they didn't let Iranian crew to participate in it, and even most of the spare parts were kept in U.S and they would be delivered within 24h after their order.
