L-159 ALCA

After seeing all the recent Czech Air Force pics of the Gripen and L-159 I got to wondering……why haven’t more people bought this airplane?

It seems to offer some great capabilities for a reasonable price.

I was browsing the net (including Aero’s website), and I’m rather taken aback by the variety of muntions it can carry as well as the capabilities it has to train pilots for the world’s most advanced fighters.

I hope it gets some export orders because I hate to see the ones that were put into storage by the Czechs to go to waste.

Are any countries even considering the L-159 (A or B models) at this point?

Also, can anyone tell me about the 20-mm cannon pod it can carry? Who makes it and how many rounds does it carry?
