Good stuff Dora9a, thanks for sharing. If anybody has ever wondered why the Fouga is called the "Dog Whistle" they only need to watch the first few minutes of this video!

Brings back memories of getting White 1 and Tango-Tango out the door, spent a pretty good amount of time in that old alert hanger. I know that wherever he is, Mike Harris has that sly grin on his face-miss ya buddy

Wait- is White 3 one of the convertibles?

I have to say it's surreal to see the video taken out of the back seat over the wing, with that pitch-perfect Luftwaffe camo and markings standing out against a background of modern aircraft and airport equipment. I can't imagine what people must've thought upon seeing this...

Great stuff, thanks!

All three are 'limos' and can be switched from single to two seat canopies. I don't know if 'Tango-Tango' in Germany has ever flown as a two seater since it went to the customer.
It would be funny if Wolfgang who is German, wheeled up to the island @ some Mid West airport and gave his fuel order in german-

I believe that 2 are 'convertibles' ('Tango Tango' in Germany and 'White 3' now with Yagen), 2 are straight 2-seaters (Collings and fuselage #5 still at Paine) and there was one single-seater (the one deemed to be 'unairworthy' and now in the Evergreen museum as a static)

YEP! White 1 is strictly a two holer-
