The two seat BM version is in a dark grey camo scheme, whereas the EM version is in a two-tone brown scheme. The aircraft were delivered in the 80's.

That France is one Egypt's big allies can be seen by the huge amount of aircraft bought during the last 20 years.
The Alpha Jet is in the Egypt Air Force operated in two versions: the "standard" trainer and a more sofisticated attack version.
The one on the picture is the standard trainer version.

The days of the L-29 Dolphin are numbered, the K-8's that have been ordered are probably the replacements for these old aircraft.
This one was seen during a overhaul in the Czech Republic. Besides this smartly painted aircraft, white painted ones have been seen recently during overhauls in Slovakia.
