I found a Magister rotting away in a weedy lot at Stead Airport in Reno.

Don, I didn't know about that. My dad (he's older than you) may have been there but he'd have no idea now.From the other posted links, General Vandenberg was. Didn't you later work at that AFB in California?

 

 

 

 

Golly I thought I'd never find this picture, and I'm sure no one cares, but here it is. Fouga Magister at Reno Stead Airport, September 2010 Reno Air Races.

 

 

I care Bill.....I care!!!

Heller and Airfix made a nice 1/72 kit. I've got two; planning for Israeli trainer/ tank attack. Funny little airplane, about the size of your hand at 1/72.

 

Special Hobby has a new one as well. Picked it up from the SpecHob booth at Nats. It looks a lot better than the standard SpecHob molds...nice and crisp. I saw an anouncement that MPM was doing one as well....may be the same molds???

Alo looks far better than the Heller kit I have. (Heller and Airfix use the same molds?)
