Re: NAF 447 at Manchester - Nigerian Alpha Jet
Nice catch! I have to agree, certainly the most interesting movement i've seen in a while. However if its a new airframe for the NAF i would imagine it was ex-civvie?

Wow
As in the other thread, this (and the other one mentioned) are ex Air USA. The guys that lost the ex RoKAF Hawk at Yuma recently.

That's one great catch fella. Does anyone know it's previous ID? I shot a couple of US Air Alphajets on the ramp at MCAS Cherry Point in May 2013. They wore N42NV and N1142A.

Great catch and very well taken. Manchester does seem a strange stop off though and I believe there are two on delivery?

aviationdb are showing that the Alphajet N42NV has been de-registered on the USA register and exported to Nigeria.

Lovely shots.
They were originally Luftwaffe machines.

Great catch.
Saw it land, but unfortunately I was on the south side of 23L best part of the day taking advantage of the brilliant light.
Well done.
