L'avion parfait pour un aero-club. Imaginez bloquer 2 heures un Alpha Jet pour s'envoyer en l'air un beau dimanche après-midi ?

Alpha Jet, primo hermano del Pampa III Argentino 👍

These are "Dassault" Alpha Jets. They are easily distinctive from the "Dornier" Alpha Jet by looking at the nose bowl. The Dassault is rounded and the Dornier is pointed with a thin protrusion at the end. There are operational differences as well but those are not visually observable.

I bet there is no structural difference between the 2 - just the nose which is a cowl may be diffrent but it's not a big deal

@@12345fowler Actually it is. They have two separate roles. The DORNIER is primarily a ground-attack / close-air-support design and the nose is dramatically more that just an appearance factor. The Dornier (by other design features) is aerodynamically unstable, allowing it to role faster and turn quicker. This also allows pilots to transition better into advanced fighters. The Dornier also has 200 more pounds of thrust per engine. The DASSAULT is designed as a trainer. Among other features, the rounded nose and chin strakes make it very stable and better suited for the training role. These features are praised by some but criticized by others as making it too pilot friendly for the fighter transition role.
