Fouga Magister research
Hi All,
I am in the early stages of researching the Fouga Magister for an article, hopefully to be published in a UK based aviation magazine.
I am hoping to get responses from Magister pilots about:
The flying characteristics of the Magister.
Was it an easy aircraft to fly?
What were the dangers of flying the type - could you get into trouble easily on the edge of its flight envelope?
Was the cockpit ergonomically easy to work in ?
How effective was it in the ground attack role?
How effective was it as a trainer?
What was its strongest virtue?
What was its greatest vice?
I would also appreciate stories of operations, exercises, close calls in training and/or poor weather. Also any photos, particularly air-to-air shots you may have. As well as anything liked or disliked about the Magister.
I look forward to your responses.
