Aero L-159 ALCA

The Aero L-159 ALCA is a light subsonic attack jet and advanced trainer developed in the single-seat L-159A and two-seat L-159B versions respectively, produced in the Czech Republic by Aero Vodochody. In 2003, the Czech Air Force elected to reduce its own fleet of seventy-two L-159A aircraft to twenty-four and has re-sold most of the redundant aircraft to both military and civilian operators, namely the Afghan and Iraqi air forces as well as Draken International Inc and Lewis Fighter Fleet LLC.
