Preserving Fouga CM.170 Magister heritage
Magister Aviation is the brainchild of Tine Soetaert. After falling in love with the aircraft while seeing the Belgian solo display and the Irish Silver Swallows perform in 1997, she began collecting everything she could get her hands on relating to the Fouga. Soon after she joined the Belgian Air Force demo team at Beauvechain AB. Even though the Fouga retired from Belgian AF service in 2007, her passion for the type is far from over. Over the years, she built up an extensive library on the Fouga. She published a book about the Fouga in 2016.

Fouga CM.170 production list (worldwide)
The main goal of Magister Aviation is to provide correct historical research about the Fouga CM.170 aircraft. One of the biggest missing links was a correct Fouga factory production list. Over the years we have collected a database of thousands of images and consulted with many other experts and archives.
As such we have been able to create te most correct list of all Fouga Cm.170 airframes produced, and what country they served in. This includes the production by Fouga/ Potez/ Sud Aviation in France, Valmet in Finland, Flugzeug Union Süd in Germany, and the Fouga/ Tzukit production by IAI.
We have discovered many unknown airframes, been able to correct many errors published over the years on the internet and in books. And we have finally been able to determine how many Fouga aircraft were actually built: 862
