The Fouga CM.170 Magister was one of the most popular jet trainer aircraft in the world—over several decades, as many as 918 units were produced and used by the air forces of numerous nations. Equipped with a characteristic V-tail and twin turbojet engines, this aircraft went down in history as a primary machine for jet pilot training in, among others, the Bundeswehr, the Finnish Air Force, and Austria.
