Fouga Magister

The French manufacturing company Fouga designed the CM.170 Magister in the early 1950s. The goal for the company was to build a jet that could meet basic and intermediate training standards. Fouga officially introduced the Magister into the French Air Force in 1956.

By 1960, 350 Magisters entered service. The CM.170-1 could reach a max speed of 444mph (386 km) at 30,000 ft (9,100 m). The aircraft also occasionally served close air support in combat.   Eventually, the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet replaced the trainer with the French Air Force retiring it.
