You’re right! I red this book too!! that’s the plane who carry Jack Ryan from the Kennedy to the Invincible, with Parker as pilot…

Very nice… in the magazine I red they talked about Palacios.
I think it will be fantastic if some of the Ouragans can be saved. These airplanes are historic :
– MD450 Ouragan was the first GOOD french jet in 1949 (others were crap)
– These Ouragans made two wars with Israel (1956 suez crisis, 1967 Six-days war)
– They were the last to fly in El Salvador until the 90’s.
I remember in the article Savadorian pilots were impressed by the strength of the Ouragan’s wings : they said that “those wings were so strong that we could cut trees with it…” (esas alas eran tan solidas que podemos cortar arboles con ellas)

FAS (Fuerza Aera Salvadorena). In the Illopango air base, there’s some wreckages of
– Fouga Magister
-MD450 Ouragan
-B26 Invader
and also Bell UH-1 and C47 dakota…

I red an article in august 1998 “le fana de l’aviation” about these airplanes.
I heard they had also Fouga Magister, and of course A37 Dragonfly, as many South american countries…
apparently, in january 1981 an ouragan shot down a light aircraft suspect to bring arms to the guerrilla. It was the only air-to-air victory of this civil war.
It’s interesting to see how israel sold its old french jet to south america
– mirage III to argentina
– SMB-2 (with J52 engine) to Honduras
-Ouragan to el Salvador
Anyone know why the Mysteres IV were not sold to south america as the other french-israeli fighter bombers?
(The vautour too but that was quiet predictible (big, obsolete bomber in few numbers…)
Apparently a salvadorian Ouragan flew for the last time in august 1989. This is the last flight of any Ouragan/mystere type, 40 years after the first prototype…
