    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.

    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 👍

      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!
