I went to a flyin/cruisein today (all kinds of vintage planes, cars, motorcycles, etc) and got to sit in a Mig-17 (3 pictures of my son sitting in it below). So cool! The Mig was going to put on a short airshow (fly-bys with afterburners lit, etc) but I could not stay around for that. What an amazing fighter... With the afterburners lit it burns 1 gal a sec!

Before I left a V-tailed jet fighter trainer flew in. Can you name it? I'll post the name later if no one guesses it.

I dont know, but I would hate to have to polish it !!!

I believe the jet with the V tail is a French, Fouga Magister.
Twin Turbo Mabore engines.

absolutely,definitely a fouga magister.i remember watching the french air force display team when they flew them.

Sorry to disagree Dave, but the Fouga is a classic and graceful jet with its tapering fuselage, slender wings and sweeping vee tail. See the images at http://www.chez.com/stef76/aviation/france/fouga.htm

Looks like an exact match all the way down to the antenna placement.

OK I take it back. But it does look much better in the air than it does on the gear.
