Fouga CM-170 Magister

Fouga CM-170 Magister
Salon-de-Provence, France (FR)
The Fouga Magister (company designation CM.170) was a 1950s French two-seat jet trainer. The related CM.175 Zéphyr was a carrier-capable version for the French Navy.

Although it is often lauded as the first purpose built two-seat turbojet-powered trainer aircraft, similar claims are made for the Fokker S.14 Machtrainer whose first flight, production, and service entry were all about year earlier. However, the Magister was much more successful that the Machtrainer, being produced in far greater numbers and being exported to many nations.
