Majestic Mirages in Rare Elephant Walk

[Windjammer]

Even in the video, they were stationary. planes don't move with canopy open. The closest PAF went with elephant walk is this:

Oh please do some search first....planes often Taxi with canopy open and the above image is just of Bolari Boys coming in after landing at their new base.

Ugly ?
Definitely, But in color sense.

PAF Mirage scheme is really Ugly, Could be better but the red color makes it look like some “Coin/Token ride”.

the red color is the brakes just to warn the crew not to step on it during maintenance.

Do you know how they arrived there and how were they eventually removed.

They are in a video that we have all seen. Their canopies are open with chocks in place.

Unless we see them on the runway with the pilots ready for sortie, I would not consider such display as an elephant walk. You can go through the previous thread on the subject where others have said the same.

sorry to bust your claim, but please show me evidence where planes were doing elephant walk with canopy open. Elephant walk is taxing just before high intensity minimum interval takeoff.

Static Photo op from 2017,50 years of Mirage.Aircrafts were towed to and from the runway.

Another photo op took place at the end of 2018 as well.

Here's an actual small elephant walk line-up though,second image had complete Zarrar sqn but lost its pictures (is from 2015 or older),notice Taxi lights hence not a static photo op :

In PAF that's only allowed for T-37

 

[Windjammer]

It was also done with F-104s.

So in a mission the mirages are supposed to fly without pilots while chocks are in place. Come on man.

Elephant walks may happen but this does not seem to be the case in the OP screenshots.

Dude, i can see no pilots in the cockpits....i was told once the photo op was over....they conducted the Elephant Walk...just like JF-17 did a small walk after the ceremony in Kamra.
