Fouga 23 is correct. GW has two fougas. The first Fouga is an ex-Belgian red devil (green camo in photo). The second and most recent museum donation is a Fouga built under license by Valmet and was delivered to the Finnish (your right) AF. Its polished aluminum with Finnish AF markings. The Mig 15 uti will be finished in soviet af colors when flying.

The museum webpage has a long way to go but we are working on the webpage. We will get a better picture of the Fougas soon. We will also get a nice photo of the three Hispano HA-200s (aka casa jets) in flight. We also have a forth Casa (A model) coming in this year. Its a complete flyer but needs moderate restoration and an annual.

Yes the museum is about to sign a land lease with the airport authorities. Once that is complete a capital campaign will be commenced to start work on the first of two hangars. Right now we are spread out in 11 t-hangars on the field.

Several of the museum jets will fly at the Rochester, New York airshow this summer in July. U.S. Thunderbirds are the headline act so it should be fun for all.

If your interested in flying or restoring classic jet warbirds, please contact the museum. Join the fun and help preserve these classic jets in flying condiction.

as a note, the museum is looking for an OV-1 Mohawk and a CT-133 (T-33), flying or project if anyone can help.

Fouga 23. The picture you posted of the four Fouga Magisters was taken at the Classic Jet Aircraft Association Northeast Jet Blast 2004, held at the old Griffiss AFB in Rome, New York. It was flown in by Carl Vernon of Lago Vista, Texas.

More fougas can be seen on their webpage www.classicjets.org

Thanks for the info. I try to keep an eye on all ex-Belgian Fouga's Superb museum!

Here's a couple more of the one Fouga. I thought that I had heard this one was for sale??

To my knowledge its owned by Peter T. and is on loan to the museum. The other Fouga was a donation to the museum by a museum member who lives in Arizona. Both will be flying this summer

Yip, owned by Peter Treichler. Shame it isn't in Belgian colors. Many color schemes to schoose from. Aluminium/dayglo, Red Devils aerobatic team or there was even one Belgian Fouga painted in vietnam camouflage. Would look great on this one.
