So I flew in a Fouga Magister :D

[Mikkel]

Hello guys

Yesterday I was out flying in a Fouga Magister
It was my second time ever flying in a plane :dance
It was really really awesome

The plane!

wow moment
In the middel of a roll over the beautifull danish country side :woohoo:

But when the Fouga made a loop I passed out for like 10 seconds When I woke up on top of the loop I was a tad sick... did not throw up though But I can tell ya my brain was not happy with me for the rest of the day. It's like having a really bad hang over :drinks

It was only like 3g but that was my limit that day

Now I really want to build agian :geek


Happy easter!!!


All the very best

What a treat!!

My Dad had private pilot's license. He flew any chance he had and I'd go with him any chance I had, but we never got to ride along in anything like that. I bet it was fun.

Thanks for sharing Mikkel.

What was the occasion?

Awesome, that would be a blast.

It was really awesome

No special ocassion, other than that I'm almost done with High school, so it was my gift for myself I guess
I really wanted to try to fly in a jet so I heard about this guy in the radio and phoned him that was how I got a tour
BUT DAMN IT I passed out in a loop :facepalm :smack

Too cool. Just takes some practice. When you start to pull Gs tighten your stomach muscles and tense everything up. Short breaths and hold a pressure. It squeezes the blood vessels slowing the flow of blood to the feet away from your head.

Hi Mikkel. Seems like you had a nice flight .

Curious about your ride . Do you know if this aircraft is all original or has it been re-engined ?

Met a fella in Texas some years back that had one with newer engines. Really got along with the program much better.

Cheers, Christian B)

It was cool

Christian, It is completely stock Only new things are radios and a small gopro hero 3 camera The day before my flight two belgian mecs finished during mainteance on the plane.

The rear part of the plane is from El Salvador the front is from belgium/France. A few years back the pilot Niels Egelund had a crash, because the fuel tank thingey was not secured, so jetfuel poured over the fuselage into the enigenes and BOOOOOOOM super fast landing Nobody got hurt!!!
The sad thing is that there is only 2 private military jet warbirds in Denmark. The Magister and a L-29. The politicans believe that it is to dangerous to let civies have such things :smack :vmad
Which means that it's almost illegal to get spares (being military stuff...) There is actually 2 J-35 Drakens that did not make it before the new laws, so they can't be allowed fly

Definitely a drag Such a weapon of mass destruction :smack

I know I was very surprised to see that one flying in Texas . The owner was even more surprised that I knew what it was.

The Belgian Red devils almost lst one of these while I was at Hahn AB.
