[4K] Alpha Jet Top Aces operations at Wittmundhafen AB (ETNT)

[@dankuettel5063]

How cool. Ive done the ground handling of C-GITA many times. Such neat little jets!

[@32tfs]

Yes they are really nice aircraft also the A4 Skyhwak of top acces is I think. Thanks for watching the video 😊👍

[@FilipHasiakCHICAGO]

My dad flu them in 70's and 80's in Poland, he use to train pilots. Very nice plane I use to play in them when I was a kid. Lot of good memories :)

[@richardgreen7811]

These two are Dornier's. They're distinguished from the Dassault (from a layman's observation) by the Dornier's very pointed nose section. The Dassault is more rounded. There are several other differences between the planes, although they were a financial joint venture by the two companies. For reasons I have never understood, the Dornier iteration is slightly more unstable on approach and in turbulence (according to pilots who fly them).

Awesome video my friend! 👌👏 This two beautiful painted Alpha Jets makes a great addition to the Top Aces fleet at Wittmundhafen Air Base. A BIG Like from me! 😊👍👍

[@32tfs]

Yes they were one of the reasons to visit Wittmund. Thanks for watching mate.👍

[@ianstewartaviation2634]

Great to see those alpha jets even better to see the A4,s thanks for posting.

[@32tfs]

Thank you very much mate. Stay tuned the A4 video is next in line this week😊

[@motorrebell]

Seems its a former jet of the JaboG43 squadron from Oldenburg ? Thats were i served in 89 - 91 .Brings back AWESOME memories ! 😊👍

[@32tfs]

It's indeed an ex German AF one, don't know it was in inventory of JBG43 but may well be. Thanks for watching 👍😊

[@SUPREME83WHV]

Excellent Video my friend! Great quality as always! Keep on the good work and have a nice Sunday!

[@32tfs]

Thank you very much, always very nice to make a visit to Wittmundhafen. Have a nice sunday evening mate!

[@nielsdorhout058]

Nice to see the skyhawk wearing the "R" ❤

[@32tfs]

Yes that is really nice you can find some video's of them here on my channel if you like. Thanks for watching :)

Wonderful footage, really nice paint jobs!

Incredible shots. Always cool to see these jets in action

[@32tfs]

Thank you very much my friend.

[@DarthWelder]

Classic !Thank you!

[@32tfs]

Thanks for watching my friend.

[@stijnvandamme76]

Alpha Jet's are just the coolest looking little jets out there.. I kinda like em bit more than the Hawk, the wing on top makes em look slightly cooler and mean

[@32tfs]

Thanks for watching the video mate 👍😊

[@gavinbooth]

Beautiful aircraft and that includes the paint scheme many thanks for posting my friend ! Regards Gav.

[@32tfs]

Thank you very much my friend.

[@Flightlevel350]

I was a Technician on the Alpha Jet for the German Air Force in the 80s....I can hardly believe that they are already over 40 years old...

[@32tfs]

Yes and still active with Top Aces 😊👍

[@joeydetto]

been tracking them all day above my house in Superior AZ

[@32tfs]

Thanks for watching mate 👍

[@mylosairplanefan]

Mooie video man, die alphajets zijn érg fraai! Heb mezelf ook nog gespot haha:) Liked!

[@32tfs]

Dank je, je zal jezelf wel vaker gaan spotten in aankomende video's :)

[@rubengutierrez4022]

Muy parecidos a los Pampas Argentinos!!!..

[@32tfs]

Thanks for watching.👍

[@mogazu0186]

Es por que el diseño de los "pampas" ia 63 fue encargado a dornier empresa que trabajo tambien en el proyecto del alpha jet y reutilizaron bastantes cosas del proyecto para hacer el diseño se podria decir que el pampa es como un alpha jet chiquito tiene un solo motor y no tiene alas en flecha como si lo tiene el alpha jet

[@icjesuselbuenpastor1382]

Jajjajaja es el Pampa argentino , solo que le cambiaron la posición del ala .

[@JATOAviationVideos]

Very nice video my friend.

[@32tfs]

Thank you very much my friend, I really do like to visit this air base at your place every time, very good spotting spots overthere.

[@AlexvanNoije]

Gave video. Liked 👍👍👍

[@32tfs]

Dankjewel. 😊👍

[@kicksnarehats11]

Does anyone know why they hang the drop tanks on the outboard stations instead of inboard? Seems counterintuitive but I'm sure there's a good reason.

[@32tfs]

It has an internal fuel system, the external fueltanks is for extra fuel load.

[@dominiqueroudier9401]

Now French Alphajet ex armée de l air Will joint Topaces . May be Belgian Alphajet also?

[@32tfs]

Yes Top Aces bought all Belgian Alpha Jets indeed. Thanks for watching mate.👍

[@dominiqueroudier9401]

@@32tfs it s a shame they don t buy Mirage F1CT and CR. Now sold in USA for agressors👍

[@32tfs]

@@dominiqueroudier9401 Yes that should be very cool. Top Aces goes for the F-16.

[@МарияЯяяя-ф9ч]

Скан, красивые съёмки! А что там за самолёты стояли, побольше, и с горбами?

[@32tfs]

На заднем плане также можно увидеть A4 Skyhawk от организации Top Aces. Позже выложу видео с A4 Skyhawk :)

[@robertbolk104]

Wanneer is het beste moment om in Wittmund te gaan kijken?

[@32tfs]

Maandag t/m donderdag vliegen ze 2 missies (in de ochtend en middag) en op de vrijdag tot 12:00 uur in het algemeen.

[@robertbolk104]

@@32tfs Wow, snelle reactie! 2 missies wil zeggen? Constante actie? Hoeveel bewegingen ongeveer op de vrijdag?

[@32tfs]

Ben er maar 2X geweest, vlogen toen van 08:00-10:30 en van 14:00- 16:45 (tijden zijn ongeveer). Vrijdag alleen in de ochtend een stuk of 4 of 6 vliegtuigen.

[@gabriellascano]

Son Pampas... Vamos Argentina!!!

[@The081559]

Boh ist das Spannend. Ein Jet wird gezogen.

[@ramiro56899]

IA 63 pampa :O

[@MajorCaliber]

Yep, the single-engine derivative of the Alpha... too bad Argentina/allies didn't make more of them, their small production numbers means they're probably not commercially viable for a Contract Air Services firm... tempting for private owners though... but again, where would you get airframe service in Europe or N. America?

[@rafww2clipsyt342]

These are over at leering right now

[@32tfs]

Ah Ok I saw them on ADSB near the engish coast above the nordsea yesterday.

[@justforever96]

Always seemed to me that a nation can fill 95% of all possible needs using simple jets like the Alpha Jet, or Hawk, or even the MB.339 or CASA 101. You can carry bombs and rockets, probably could carry JDAMs and Harpoons if you modified them a bit. Can carry Sidewinders and a 30mm cannon, so it would be perfectly able to intercept and fight with enemy aggressors. But that last 5% of performance is so crucial that nations pay trillions of dollars just to squeeze that little bit more performance out. It's just ironic that a poorer nation that can only spend hundreds of millions on defense instead of billions and trillions can still have jets that will do most of the things that an F-15 can do, just not quite as well. It's definitely not linear. Spending only 100/th as much doesn't mean your planes are only 1/100th as fast or that they can only do 1/100th the damage. Anyway, point is that many people dismiss jets like this as "mere" trainers, since they are low and slow and cheap compared to front line fighters and attack aircraft. But in reality, they are very potent aircraft, very fast and powerful as planes go, and if you aren't able to afford anything better, you've still got a pretty powerful air force, as long as you don't have to fight the guys with F-15s. A Alpha Jet would mop up the floor with any WWII fighter, even the Me 262.

[@32tfs]

Wow, thanks for watching and even more for sharing your opinion/story appreciate it.👍

[@stijnvandamme76]

That's what John Boyd and the fighter Maffia argued.. which resulted in the F16 (which had overgrown its intended size considerably past Boyd's intention)

[@gordmcdonald2807]

Canadian flag on both tails.

[@32tfs]

Correct, Top Aces is a canadian company.

[@ronykurniawanchannel9662]

Metal slug jet fighter

[@justforever96]

Not the best looking jets though, I must admit.

[@Medley3000]

Not a good fighter either. No afterburner, low payload, short range, no self-sealing tanks, no armor. In Germany, they call them "Luftmoped" (Airmoped) for that reason.

[@kicksnarehats11]

@@Medley3000 Well, it was never meant to be a "fighter", as in air-to-air. The Alpha Jet was specified as a light CAS platform and, in a secondary role, as an advanced flight trainer. It must be good at something, or it wouldn't be used as an aggressor airframe today.

[@Medley3000]

@@kicksnarehats11 This aircraft is not a combat aircraft. Fortunately, it never had to pass this test of fire and prove itself in a war. If it had, its massive problems would have quickly become apparent. The aircraft is unsuitable as ground combat support and is therefore a burden for the German Luftwaffe. That is why it was removed.

[@MajorCaliber]

@@Medley3000 Still, Alpha Jet is a MUCH better sport-trainer for private owners than say, a T-38, since it actually has self-start, APU, and even some cargo space, not to mention hardpoints for extra fuel, NONE of which the Talon has.
