An other grey or dark area

I checked on a fouga selling with extra engines O hours SMOH.
Guess what or since you started to read the blog : A person overhauled thoses engines in the US and according to the owner that person did a major overhaul !!!!!!!without to be able to come up with the references of seals replaced , lock washers , documentations , ref , tag and real serial number for the combustion chamber replaced....
Watch out around you , you have a lot of unscrupulous people and sign anything to pull out some money.
I had some problem with fouga S/N 433 sold and for the left engine it was given for 187 SMOH in 2001 .
On the left engine the data plate was removed of the engine and painted with an other engine serial number /The engine with that serial number is on a aircraft in France with the original paper work. Guess : the original engines logs for 433 disappeared / very convenient.....
After some researches between France , French Air Force and some paper works I found that the real time on the left engine was 1350 hours SMOH when he left France in 1996 and nothing was done on it , just open American logbooks and did not put the right engine time on it or I will call that falsifying the logbooks.

Be aware of thoses engines overhaul

Nothing is better than pictures when you doing a work , but be sure that if you want to do a so so job and to hide something , hide it good.

I have new emergency knifes holders better than the originals on the fouga.
