Any info on the photo used in the banner? Looks like the three aircraft us Jet Aerobatic team that was based out of Beaver County and where the six planes are stored.

There are six Fougas at Beaver County Airport, four are flyers (sort of) and two are parts birds. All were involved with the US Jet Aerobatic Team/ Overhead Productions.

None have flown since the 2007/08 time frame but are otherwise complete. Two are stored outside on the Air Heritage Ramp and two are hangared in private hangars.

* #325, hangared
* #251, outside, this is N16FM, but it's serial is listed as FM-26 on the registration
* #272, outside

*** #FM-29, hangared, N403PF, this one is not listed on the registry at all. <---- It is now! - Scott WRG Editor

These planes are parts planes and are fuselages only in open storage at Beaver County.

* #FM-61, possibly 28FJ as listed on the wix registry
* #273, possibly 909DM as listed on the registry.

Fouga Magister #220/C-GEPK
I don't think this airframe will be air worthy any time soon.

Fouga Magister - FM-73/N504DM
This one has been in Kissimee for quite a long time now.

Great to see the Fouga added!

I'll have to go get some pics tomorrow afternoon or next weekend (weather may not be great tomorrow afternoon) of N904DM / FM-080 then for the registry since it appears to not be represented. I unfortunately don't have the history on it prior to its prior 2 dispositions registered to Dr. Baiser and now Gene Forrester and based in Lancaster, TX (now at the Cold War Air Museum, previously in its own hangar). There's a couple pics on the net of it, but none are good roster shots.

Wow that is looking rough! I remember being there and seeing it all nice and shiny along with all the other aircraft at the flying tigers museum. Liberty Belle was still being restored and finally flew later that year for the first time, 2004 I believe it was.

The Fouga was always one of my favorites. Wonder what the fuel burn is? Another favorite not in the Registry is the TEMCO TT-1 Pinto Jet. It probably has the highest survivor rate. They only built a handful and there seem to be 3 or 4 flying.

A lot! About 800 litres keeps you airborne for about 1 hr.
