Seller's description:

Here is a Lockheed Proposal Model to the US Navy for a carrier based trainer based on the Dassault / Dornier Alpha Jet. Very unusual, and definitely an in-house model. The US Navy started the VTXTS advanced trainer program in 1978. I'm making my best guess that this was done and used in presentations around that time or by 1981 at the latest.

Milliarden-Wettbewerb der US Navy: Lockheed Alpha Jet auf Flugzeugträgern?

Heute vor 50 Jahren startete der erste Alpha Jet zu seinem Jungfernflug. Mit etwas mehr Glück wären heute vielleicht noch viel mehr Maschinen im Einsatz – und zwar bei der US Navy.

It's amazing how much that looks like a T-45...
