Superb aircraft. I saw an engine change for real when a visiting Alpha sucked in a bird. the mechs had the old engine out in 20 minutes from a standing start and the aircraft was back online in an hour.
And I remain a big fan of the legendary Patrick Experton. Quelle merveille--ton grand-père dans le cockpit! Merci d'avoir trouvé notre vidéo en ligne. Erik

You're right, Ruben--the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet and the Argentine Pampa III made by FAdeA are close cousins. Unfortunately, in 1981 the U.S. Navy selected the single-engine British Aerospace Hawk over the superior two-engine Alpha Jet as the new trainer aircraft for Navy pilots. McDonnell Douglas was the manufacturer of the new version of the Hawk which became known as the T-45 Goshawk. No doubt politics and the Reagan-Thatcher relationship at the time played some part in the decision.
La diferencia está en las alas rectas de Pampa y en flecha del A Jet, y una turbina del Pampa marca Garrret y dos turbinas del A Jet, la versión Pampa lll blok ll es de entrenamiento y ataque ligero a tierra pudiendo llevar bombas, cohetes, ametralladoras y cañón de 30 mm, y se estará trabajando en la colocación de un radar AESA para dotarlo de misiles aire aire, y bombas guiadas, saludos
@@rubengutierrez4022 Understood and thanks for the quick reply outlining the differences between the two jets. So the Pampa III is essentially more compact, single-engine and has straight wings instead of "swept" wings--still a very cool design. Hopefully, the Guatemalan contract from 2019 for two of your trainer jets will still go through!

My grandfather (Patrick Experton) is one of those test pilots in the video !

Kudos to your Grandfather. You should be proud of him.
Thank you for this Video!
What I like with this jet, its twin engine turbo fan, cost only $4M way too cheaper than the Pilatus PC-21 turboprop trainer
Primo hermano del Pampa III Argentino 👍
