Historical Information

Fouga CM.170 Magister is a lightweight, two-seat jet trainer aircraft designed in France in the late 1940s. Its maiden flight took place in 1952. Widely used by numerous NATO countries and Middle Eastern nations, the Fouga Magister became one of the most important training aircraft of the Cold War era. Israel was one of the largest operators of this aircraft; the locally produced version – IAI Tzukit – was used not only for pilot training, but also in combat roles, including during the Arab-Israeli conflicts such as the Six-Day War (1967) and the Yom Kippur War (1973).
