Heard a very wierd sounding jet yesterday here at ISP...turns out it was a Fouga Jet! First time I had ever seen one...here is an example of one, although the one that was here was painted all black.

That's neat! And of course, your camera was at home, right? :wink:
yeah it was, but the bigger problem was getting down stairs fast enough to snap a decent picture. Running in this building would not go over too well.
last time I was one was in Israel, they used to use them as basic jet trainers
Still do. Most of the originals were rebuilt by IAI, so their lifespan will be almost indefinite. They fly out of Hatzerim (where the huge Air Force museum is), just outside of Be'ersheva.
