I guess a decision well out of your reach, as the decision makers have to consider multiple dimensions before they put it to action. Let it be their prerogative and their call.They need to phase out these old tin Mirages ASAP.
Is it ROSE Mirage-5 or simple one ?Two Killed in Pakistan Air Force Mirage Crash
Posted on: January 16th, 2014
Newly refurbished by PAC Kamra, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) two-seat Mirage 5DD 04.002, formerly with the Libyan Air Force, taxies out for a test flight from Kamra-Minhas on February 18, 2007, flown by a 25 Squadron pilot. A two-seat PAF Mirage was lost in a crash today during a training flight from PAF Base Masroor/Sargodha, killing both crew members. AFD-Alan Warnes
A PAKISTAN Air Force (PAF) Dassault Mirage crashed today during a routine training mission, killing both crew members. The aircraft had taken off from PAF Base Masroor/Sargodha, but suffered a technical problem and came down in fields in the Qadir Abad area of the Mandi Bahauddin district of Punjab province.
The cause of the malfunction could not immediately be ascertained. A PAF team has arrived at the crash site and commenced an investigation. AFD-Dave Allport

Most of the people giving their opinions don't know much about air craft.Agreed these are old Air craft but these are fit to fly otherwise Air force will not fly them.there are hundred and one reasons, best known to the pilot to act.just making statements does not solve the problem.let the inquiry decide what happened.most of the parts of aircraft, engine are replaced after their useabl life.Ejaction seats are checked, both seats could not be defective.many a time speed, height or some unknown reason could be the reason when a senior highly experienced pilot could decide against standard operating procedures.I have done it.sometimes you are lucky to come back and tell the tale and sometimes you don't.we should pray for departed souls and not as a always play the blame game.

I am sorry to post in this thread, but I thought that respected AC (R) Dotani's views were very relevant in this context.

A Friend of mine's elder brother is Mirage Pilot he was told to his brother that PAF pilots try it at very last moment to survive the Jet. Thats why they loss their lives,Requiescat In Pacem!
A useful and honorable job equals an honorable death!
Salute and respect.

what he told you is a fact. Their realization for the aircraft as a national asset is too high.
The Mirages are a National Asset ?
I would understand were the analogy applied to a Jf-17 or an F-16 but a Mirage ?
