El Salvador purchased a total of 18 Ouragan from Israel two years later after they were retired from service.
Can anyone help me with their previous identity of these 18 aircraft and their c/n? or any other information about the purchase?
Thanks.

So you already have their c/no (yes i got them from aeroflight.co.uk).
Have you tried to ask the Israeli air force museum by mail?
I will browse around some more, to see what i can find online.

Mondariz, thanks for taking the time to search the web. The info you post is shown at aeroflight.co.uk but is incomplete. In El Salvador there is a total of 6 1/2 Ouragans: #705 (cockpit only at Museum), #706 at Museum, #709 as monument, #713 at Museum, #714 armed for static display and #716 at Museum.
Ive seen some photos of the FAS Ouragan wearing their c/n° right before the tail numbers were assigned and Im trying to match em up.
