They are building 2 new ones. The wing is from the EADS Bf109 that they are repairing.
Wasn’t XV355 a Buc?
Photos taken in March 1998 at Airframe Ass.
What’s with the wing? The wingskins seem to be draped over the spar like cloth:confused:
Anyone care to explain? Are there 2 mustangs with the same serial or something?
looks like arabic. Iraqi or iran machine captured by Israel?
I so want that black 6 fuselage skin on my wall!
Nice website and great looking cockpit! I love seeing these cockpit projects:) Also, if you look at the history page, on the image of the Canberra wing you can see the tail of Tornado ZD938. Also a cockpit survivor!
Every aircraft has a demonstrated crosswind landing/take off limitation,I just wondered how the fouga compared to other jet trainers in that respect.
cheers baz
Hi Baz, I meant I don’t think there are any limitations compared to a normal tailed aircraft. As for speed. Fouga max speed is mach 0.82. I’ll try to look up the crosswind data. Meanwhile here’s a picture of the second prototype with the T-tail:
I always thought that the Fouga looked really nice,always wanted to fly in one,I love little jets 😀
Using the theory that you never get anything for nothing,does the fouga V tail have any disadvantages ? I was thinking maybe crosswind limitations ?cheers baz
As far as I know it has no limitations. The second Fouga prototype was tested with a conventional tail but converted back to V-tail.
I heard that had something to do with the angle of the V tail (Bonanza). Fouga has one and flies just fine. I believe that tail is at 110°
The Denmark Fouga is OY-FGA
both Finland and Denmark have an airworthy Fouga CM.170 Magister.
As said, Mine is French serial 63, but I’m also looking for pictures of Belgian MT-37. Any cockpit shots? thanks for looking!
I suspect pictures of XE985 will be in a box with snaps of my Sea Hawk (WV838) as that too has evaded all attempts to date.
Jon, What are the plans for WV838? I heard something of trying to make it a complete airframe again?
Fouga-I have a good batch of Fouga negs and prints. Can you tell me which one you are searching for? The more specific, the better…Have we already discussed this? sounds familiar.

Should you have a picture of it, I would love to hear from you 🙂 Do you have any 60’s/70’s Belgian Fouga stuff?
