German Alpha Jets were early victims of the end of the Cold War. This aircraft was reregistered as 98+56 before it was eventually sold to the Royal Thai Air Force as BJ7-2.

This aircraft participated as light bombers in the 1995 Tactical Fighter Weaponry. Shortly afterwards the Alpha Jet was withdrawn and went into long term storage, before transfer to QinetiQ as ZJ646.

The Alpha Jet is a combination trainer and light attack aircraft designed by a consortium of French and West German aircraft designers. Design work began in 1968 with the first French aircraft flying in October 1973 followed by the first German aircraft in January 1974. Germany and France bought just over 170 aircraft each. Germany decided to use theirs almost exclusively as light attack fighters, while France adopted them as their advanced jet trainer. The German Luftwaffe operated Alpha Jets until the late 1990s when most were sold to smaller air forces around the world.
