When you decide to buy a Fouga or other aircraft before sending some money , decide if you want to have the airplane inspected by a competent person or if you want to play the Russian roulette ?
When you bought the aircraft , it is too late to have the news that the aircraft will cost you twice for all the discrepancies on it.
Ask if it is possible to make a test flight and arrange a delivery flight and the cost.
If no test flight is possible ..... red warning ... The aircraft could have troubles and the seller does not want you to see them.
Paper work : Get a qualified person who know the Fouga and worked on Fougas , military records, Part 66 licence , reference on which aircraft serial number he worked and contact for the owner to verify . Just ask if you can go with the seller to the local FSDO to check with the FAA if the logs, engine time limited components ,maintenance manuals, limitations are up to date.
If everything is clear nobody should fear the local FSDO.
Be aware of thoses so called fouga specialists because they could be worst than a fresh mechanic out of a A&P school.
