You'd have got me if you hadn'#t mentioned Jaguar and Alphjet, and
probably
MIG AT. They've not been that successful? The others have.



To paraphrase a former US president, it depends how you define success...

The Jaguar is in service in France, the United Kingdom, Ecuador, Nigeria,
India and Oman. The alphajet is in service in France, Germany, Belgium,
Cameroon, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Nigeria, Portugal, Togo and Quatar.
And both still fly some 25 years later (probably not for a very long time
now concerning the jaguar).

I agree the Mig AT is not a commercial success yet but the financial aspect
is not the only one to take in consideration. I was refering to successful
*partnerships*, as this is what you say the French can't achieve...
