The Atlas Cheetah is a South African fighter
aircraft, developed for the South African Air Force (SAAF) and currently
operated by the Ecuadorian Air Force (FAE). It was first built as a major
upgrade of the Dassault Mirage III by the Atlas Aircraft Corporation of South
Africa. Three different
variants were created, 16 dual-seat Cheetah D, 16 single-seat Cheetah E and 38
single-seat Cheetah C. The Cheetah Es were retired in 1992, and the Cheetah Cs
and Cheetah Ds in April 2008, being replaced by the Saab Gripen.
