A Monday morning flight towards Paris. The machine is a CM 170 Magister, developed by the Potez company and then approved and finished by Vouga. The first flight was in 1952. The machine was one of the first jet trainers that was not derived from a fighter or combat aircraft like the Lockheed T-33, but was designed as a trainer. These machines are now a thing of the past, some may have survived as private aircraft. For a while some were in action at those weird air races in Reno, USA - today the Czech-built for the Warsaw Pakt L-39 Albatros has taken over... Meanwhile Vouga is alos gone, the Vouga 90 was not entered into Pproduction, beacause of the "Alpha Jet"

That kind of plane had been official trainer plane for Israeli air force for years years years years.

That's right and in the 7-day war of 1967
it was also used as a fighter-bomber. That and in Congo, where there is now a claim that the so-called Katanga rebels shot down UN Secretary General Hammarskjöld's DC-6. which is disputed by the UN to this day, although one of those involved is said to have confessed to his death.

Great set, I love the lighting

Something is "repaird" mow... but it was no big thing.
