Fouga Magister

953 theflyinghillbilly  7.0 years ago

I built this plane to celebrate the U.S. tour of the Patrouille de France. I just went to the Capital Airshow in Sacramento and saw the Patrouille fly (I'm half French). The Fouga Magister was the plane that the Patrouille used for the longest time. My grandfather was a mechanic on these during the Algerian war and his father's cousin, Latil, flew these in the Patrouille de France! So, this plane has a little special history for me.
