Displayed at the Paris Air Show before delivery.

Present at the static of Le Bourget was this Alpha Jet, destined for the Egypt Air Force. The aircraft was delivered shortly after the show to El Minya air base where it was assigned to the Weapon Training Brigade. Egypt ordered thirty MS1 variants of which four were built in France while 26 were assembled in Egypt during the late 70s and early 80s. Fifteen new-built MS2 were ordered in the early 80s, directly produced by the manufacturer.
