FOUGA MAGISTER CM-170
MY FOUGA WAS 
MANUFACTURED IN FRANCE IN 1963. THE FOUGA MAGISTER IS PICTURED IN FRENCH SQUADRON COLORS AND WAS USED BY THE FRENCH AIR FORCE AS AN ADVANCED JET TRAINER AND LIGHT ATTACK AIRCRAFT. IN IT'S MILITARY COMBAT ROLE IT WAS FITTED WITH UNDERWING EXTERNAL ORDINACE PODS CARRYING ROCKETS AND BOMBS. TWO 7.6 MILLIMETER MACHINE GUNS WERE MOUNTED ON THE NOSE. THE FOUGA WAS USED IN COMBAT AS A GROUND ATTACK JET IN THE ISRAEL, 6 DAY WAR, THE CONGO AND IN SOUTH AMERICA.
THE FOUGAS WERE RETIRED FROM MILITARY USE IN THE EARLY 1990'S, AND SEVERAL WERE EXPORTED TO THE UNITED STATES AND RETRO-FITTED TO CIVILIAN USE.
THE AIRCRAFT IS WELL KNOWN FOR IT'S EXCELLENT HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS AND TWIN ENGINE SAFETY. THE JET HAS TWO PLACED SEATING IN TANDEM WITH INDEPENDENT CANOPIES AND DUAL FLIGHT CONTROLS. THE FOUGA HAS AN EXCELLENT PRESSURIZATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR PILOT COMFORT.
I FLY THE FOUGA REGULARLY AND BASE THE SHIP IN KENOSHA, WISCONSIN.
