Aircraft: Fouga Magister. The device is maintained in strict accordance with the regulations in force. The Aerospatiale-Potez-Fouga CM170 Magister is a jet aircraft designed in France in the early 1950s, and initially intended for the training of military pilots. Recognizable by its rear “V” (known as “butterfly”) tail, it has been produced in thousand copies and used by around twenty countries. Many aircrafts are still in service today.
