That and the BAe Hawk probably are the most beautiful REAL fighters of
the cold war.

The Alpha Jet and Hawk weren't only trainers - in case of the big one,
they'd have been used as CAS and helo killers, hunting Hinds by Mk1
eyeball with guns.

I always admired the Fantrainer too:

Interesting concept, but of course "cost savings" and "Jet trainer"
didn't mix all that well in the 80s. You saved costs by axing projects
- and reallocated them to politically more apropriate stuff (i.e. stuff
from companies that donated more to your campaign)

I actually saw one in flight at an airshow in Moenchengladbach in 1983,
when it was still thought of as an idea whose time had come:http://picasaweb.google.com/juergen....chengladbach#5...
