The alpha jet is a really cool little jet and of course the jet from our National aerobatic patrol.Image


if someone need an adress in France for ordering it : I can help !!!!!

It will be a long term process (120 issues with 4 issues / months = 30 MONTHS !)

I did ask them to send me the whole package .... but actually it's not started ... they are waiting the subscriptions !

so I will keep you informed.






Cheers from France :)

We always called it the Alpha joint for VACR in the Army.

In the German Airforce we always called it "Air Moped (motor assisted bicyle)" :D :D

In France it is called a "GADGET" ! (it meens a small stuff) but actually the alph jet is better performing than the HAMKS jet trainer of the red arrows or US NAVY !
Plus i've heard from some fighter pilots that's it's a spiritly little hot rod !
