Fouga CM-175 Zephyr
The Wiki:
The Fouga Zéphyr (company designation CM.175) was a 1950s French two-seat carrier-capable jet trainer for the French Navy. It was developed from the land-based CM.170 Magister. It was replaced in 1994. The Zéphyr differed from the Magister in being equipped with an arrester hook and a modified structure and undercarriage strengthened for carrier operations. The Zéphyr also included a nose-mounted light. As it did not have ejection seats, the Zéphyr had new sliding canopy hoods which could be locked open during carrier launchings and landings. One six-round rocket pod could be mounted under each wing for weapons training. Two guns could be fitted in the nose, but these were seldom carried. Thirty-two aircraft were delivered.

As Always:
A tribute to the brand new USS Beast that came with 1.8. A neat trainer IMHO, and even more so as it is carrier-capable. As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you so much for stopping by, and enjoy your flight!!
