Fouga Magister

Although part of the EAA “Land of Enchantment Fly-In,” this plane deserves it’s own article. This jet, a Fouga Magister, has a lot of wear and grime you don’t usually see on an airshow plane.  It’s a 1960s French jet trainer that saw action in brushfire conflicts in places like Africa, Central America and the Middle East during the Cold War.  Good fodder for scale model weathering!
