Historical Overview and Use:

The Fouga Magister CM.170 is the first French two-seat jet trainer, used since the early 1950s. During the Cold War, this aircraft was operated mainly by France, as well as several dozen other countries, including Israel, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, and Finland. The aircraft gained distinction during the Six-Day War in 1967, where Israeli Fouga Magisters served as light attack aircraft. It was also used in combat during the Katanga crisis in 1961.

Thanks to its wide use in both basic training and combat operations, the Fouga Magister is an interesting choice for aviation and military enthusiasts of the Cold War period.
