Here are the highlights of my flight in a Fouga Magister OH-FMA, an ex-Finnish Air Force jet trainer now operated privately by Fouga-Team (www.fouga-team.fi/).
No music - enjoy the sound of "cock whistle".

This just came out in Microsoft Flight Simulator and it's a joy to fly. Such an amazing aircraft.
For free or does it cost?
cost is $36 ned@@meekdook4236

The Irish Air Corp used to operate 6 of these. I loved watching them training at Dublin airport during the 80s.
Also used to bomb a shoot against irish troops in the Congo till irish shot one down , funny how we ended up with them after the conflict in jadovilli
I did my aero engineering apprenticeship at Baldonnel. Spent a great deal of time on the CM-170

Beautiful bird! Looks like a sport car from the sixties!
She is a sports car, they just put wings on her is all.
Fond memories go with this video, thank you! I must have been 17 years old, 1964 in Bochum, NRW, West-Germany during a flight show when 4 or 6 Fouga Magister of the French Air Force Academy, the „Patrouille de l'école de l'aire“ was the highlight of the event. They even landed and we could get a close look of the planes. When you consider that I am 71 years old now you can appreciate how impressed I was! Thanks again for posting the video and I am puzzled about the 298 likes including mine!
Hallo Bernd, 1961 - absolved finish Gymnasium, I was 18-years young, schooled at
Landsberg/Lech - Airbase, FlugzeugFührerSchule-A (AA) on A/C - Harvard MK IV / T6

operates the FOUGA CM170 /by Potez, never I can forget the Sound. Even not forgotten
our Instructors - and Commanders - all WW2 served. RIP all this Heros never will forget also not forget Nato-Camerades what I met, with long years of friendship.
I guess, meanwhile - All of them had had the last- take off- and in arrival Walhall.
Bernd, You - and all mutual friends of * per Aspera ad Astra* wishing * good best time,

Hallo Alexander, I was so impressed, that I kind of always kept in touch with aviation. 1967-1969 Luftwaffe, BaseOps JaBoG 36 Rheine-Hopsten (now decommissioned), because of my glasses (1.5 dioptrien) they would not let me go for the pilot training, so I only did the 18 month, 1969-1970 Flugbegleiter (Purser) Lufthansa (727 und 737). Then dentistry and oral surgery, but a highlight about 15 years ago was actually flying a Robinson R44 hands on the controls with a FI for 2 times 30 min.
This is my favorite aircraft on my Flight Simulator. LOVE how smoothly it handles at low and medium speed. Yes, it's is under powered, over weight, and not very streamlined, not to mention outdated and inefficient, yet it has a charm I just can't shake. Having experienced the craft in real life, I have to say my hopes and dreams came true. It is perfect just the way it is to me.
Noah Diamond where did you get to fly the real thing? Tim
Tim Lundberg I haven't. I flew it on Microsoft Flight Simulator.
"outdated"? No! They are very uniquely designed and have a more classic look about them.
Merci pour ce bon moment !
Ça m'a replongé dans ces beaux vols que j'ai eu le plaisir d'effectuer !
ah le Fouga^^ mon 2éme avion exceptionnel (15 ans à Salon de prov) après le Jaguar ( 11 ans à St dizier) .Deux oiseaux magnifiques sur lesquels j'ai eu la chance d'effectuer de nombreux vols...vols de contrôle surtout sur Fouga avec des pilotes à l'ancienne, exceptionnels eux aussi^^ on etait trèèès loin des chasseurs pousse-bouton actuels lol...le Fouga etait un avion qui se pilotait..réellement...aux fesses...mais quel bonheur en vol!!! une de mes meilleures périodes en tant que mecano dans l'Armée de l'Air...souvenirs d'un privilégié^^ + larmes de nostalgie...
Impressionnant de réalisme ! , on ci croirait presque ! , excellente vidéo bravo et merci pour ce moment de plaisir !
It used to be the "patrouille de France" aircraft. It was used in the french navy to certificate young pilots on carriers landing, i had the chance to see them when i was on PA Foch in the 90's just before they left the service :-)
Great video thanks! Great to see these lesser known jets in action. Great quality too. Cheers from Milton NSW Australia!
Israel put 24 of these aircraft to good use during the Six Day War in 1967 to stop a Jordanian armored column of Patton tanks that was climbing up from the Jordan Valley to relieve the beleaguered Jordanian Army in Jerusalem. Some of the Israeli pilots were student pilots barely out of flight school and the rest were older commercial pilots and reserve officers. They were initially going to be kept out of the fighting but were called to action when it was realized they were the only air assets Israel had available at the time. Armed with only machine guns and unguided 2.75" Mighty Mouse rockets, the Fouga Magisters were flown to within 200 meters of the Jordanian tanks to ensure hits. The aircraft had no aiming system other than an "X" taped on the windscreen and 25% of the aircraft were lost to ground fire.
Watching this AV reminds me of my old days of Airforce, 'a great a of life'!!
A great disign of it´s time. Emerged from a full metal glider plane. We had a Czech built Blanik full metal glider in our club and i loved to fly that bird. This video reminds me a bit of my happy times on the stick. I had been allways dreaming of a jet engine in the Blanik. ;-)
I cant believe this has only gotten 23,173 views!! Someones gone to the time and effort to put together this video and edit it and that's all the views its got??
alot of people arent interested in older jets sadly ima superfan of the fouga
I work at an FBO in Pasco Washington. One of the local pilots had a fuga he would store in their hanger and had worked on once in awhile. Been a few years ago
Brings back old memories!
Great vid, I was entertained by the localiser during the loops on center line
Nottingham guy Harry Prew Smith had a Red one. He kept it at East Midlands Airport. The Irish engineers use to look after it. Amazing to watch.
Whoa, that whistle at 2:40 was too much for both the cat and myself, glad this macine has a volume control!
22600 rpm at full power.
a fantastic design!
During the some time the Brazilian Demonstration, known as "SMOKE SQUADRON" OR "ESQUADRILHA DA FUMAÇA" Team Flew this jet. I think it was during a brief period of time in the sixties.
That was too cool. What a cool airplane.
Beautiful toy.
Awesome, thanks for the video. 👍
impressionnant !..
Used to get Belgian fouga magisters at manston occasionally
I have seen Fouga Magisters in in Virttaa near Turku, think sixties
Periscope for help monitor to see runway ( landing final )...
Everytime I see the Magister I'm like "this looks like somebody built two jetcats into a glider"
It’s not surprising : the Magister has been designed by a glider designer !
We used the Fouger in 1961 in the GAF.
awesome
Wow these are awesome little jets! How hasn’t any company taken the plans and built new ones in the last 50 years? I’d think there must be a market for an aircraft like this minus the 70 year old worn airframe.
Was just looking at one on trade-a-plane that got me watching TH-cam videos to see what this plane is. Had 500/700hrs on the turbines plus a spare with 1800hrs for only $22000. Seems like a great price for a low hour turbine aircraft so I’m sure there are operational cost issues like on the L-39 Albatros that could also have affordable purchase prices till you factor maintenance, huge fuel bills, and scarce part availability.
I wonder what fuel burn is like on this aircraft since it’s turbines are relatively small(880lbs thrust each)? Or if the issue driving down its price is lack of replacement engine, parts, or high cost of parts? Maybe people are just scared to fly an aerobatic trainer that could’ve been pulling 5g with the airframe over the last 70 years?
Really interesting aircraft, would love to fly one, or better yet own one if they don’t burn $500 of Jet A per hour.
Sacré Fouga à devenir sourd ... BA745 le bruit terrible de 10 Fouga décollant en Même temps entre 8H du soir et 22H...
Idem à Salon.
WOW
What is the takeoff and landing speed ?
One of these aircraft made its way into the Congo during their civil war in the early 60s
...juste encore une remarque-question...j'ai vu une poignée haute de siège éjectable sur la vidéo...quand le Fouga etait en service dans l'AAF, pas de siège, juste un baquet où le parachute du pilote (sous les fesses...) servait aussi de coussin^^
Think the Irish airforce had these
Are you perhaps flying with Laukkanen :=) ? Is this the same plane, that is stored in Kymi museum?
No and no. This is OH-FMA from Pori. Currently it has leak in fuel tank and hasn't flown last season. Spare parts are difficult to find I heard..
@@cos4242 Yeah. The one in Kymi museum has a fuel leak also, and somekind of hydraulic (but still more or less managable with that..), at least some time ago.. Is there many of these left in Finland? Laukkanen told me at museum, that also that one in the museum (outcluding fuel leak and some hydraulic pressure losts) in pretty much flight condition also. Sometimes they roll with it, he said. OR "could be". Condition enough to fly for "Jyrkiboy" maby... :) Very nice vid. Thank you! And thank you.
The sound of idle compressors is unbearable ! It's even worst in real
I saw people standing front of these machine without ear protection
If you’re wearing earphones I wish your ears goodbye.
During my homework for my Aviation Maintenance Tech. school in Portland, Oregon, I was going through the safety alerts. I came across an Airworthiness (AC) Number 43-16 dated July of 1996. On page seven I saw the manufacturer Fouga and model CM170. Along with other models throughout the world, I had not yet heard of this one. Unfortunately, in the alert, the CM170 had wrecked. Here is there link:
www.faa.gov/aircraft/safety/alerts/aviation_maintenance/media/1996/1996_07_Alert.pdf
This is one sexy jet trainer. I loved seeing its small size and tandem seat design. Thanks to the man recording and posting it up on youtube. Now look up the Fairey Rotodyne. That's an incredible Compound aircraft too.
Nice video but i notice no ejector seats ?
Yep, to eject you turn the plane upside down and release canopy and harness.
Tuota hymyn leveyttä lopussa....
What is the periscope like thing for?
I have a video about it th-cam.com/video/vzuwk-Y2hsU/w-d-xo.html
Hi...
I have my PPL, Night, Flots, aerobatic certificate, 200 hours...
my question is: I would like to know what is the requirement to fly Fouga Magister?
Is it minimum hours?
where can i get the instruction and the training ?
Thanks
It's considered "complex airplane". Check your local aviation law for what is required to get a type certificate for one. Also you'll need to find an Fouga Magister with a owner willing to teach you. Twin engine rating is not required, as the engines are in the fuselage and they don't cause any torque. I don't have type certificate for this, I was just a passenger so my information may be wrong.
You Cant man, forget it
Yeah eye candy
finland finland findland : ) me likes the fouga!
If you're a pilot, and can afford a brand new Ford F250, then you can afford to buy a decommissioned Israeli CM.170. They're being offered for sale for just $29,900 US at www.raptoraviation.com/aircraft%20spec%20pages/Fouga%20IAI.html. I don't fly, and I've never been in the market, but if I was, I'd be all over this.
I think you need to have experience on flying jets and you need to have some ranks in the af to buy one.
+Ace Jargo No a rank in any AF is totally irrelevant in the civilian aviation and the planes in the civil aircraft registry. Even a flying colonel can't even fly a glider without the proper civilian authorization. And to buy any plane is always fine if you're not attempting to fly it.
Big bucks.those have been priced for quick sale for several years.
What are those 2 pair of binoculars for?
Ziyad Thunku Ousmand You can see "through" front pilot's helmet with them. This is not visible from video but they work quite well.
Ville Ranki Periscope ín short :) It is weird that this jet trainer does not have ejection seats. How many flying hours they have left in them or have they been fully restored to flying condition, as good as new ?
A lot of 50's trainers didn't have ejection seats yet. Fouga is based on a glider so there isn't enough room. The planes have plenty of spares, but trained mechanics are getting old which may cause them to quit flying or be sold to someone with money to keep them flying.
To allow the instructor in the back seat to see forward.
Fesches Maschinchen !
Bitchen! Lucky bastard.........
Owch my ears :c, reduce the volume guys gonna get loud
No shit, It's a fucking jet...
I HATE THE V-TAIL PLANES 😒😒😒😒😒a n t e e k s i
Bro you look exactly like Tom Cruise.
Nice, but please 🙏🏻 get rid off that thing on your chin
Hmm, not impressed by the pilot doing aerobatics over a built up area...
