Another vote for the JP in all its guises, it really just did what it said on the tin. The only other aircraft of the same class I flew in; very briefly; was the CL41 Tutor. A lot of similarities but just felt a bit less robust that the JP. I always wondered about the Fouga Magister, because it seemed such a different way of fulfilling the requirement for a basic trainer. I once asked someone had flown the Fouga on exchange what it was like? He thought for a moment, sucked his teeth and replied "French".
