Fouga N313CK S/N 546 Ex PAF

Fouga S/N 546  N313CK  Ex PAF ( Patrouille de France) real one, just came out of a very nice paint job, and is back to Abilene.
I performed the annual inspection, with the help of Mark and his team of Abilene Aero for ground support and the aircraft is ready to soar toward the Texas Sky.
Enjoy your flights Roy...



How could it be missed after so many annual inspections ?

Main attachment bolts facing the wrong way for years....



Look out for theses ground equipments engines

I heard about it but never saw one before this week. (picture)
Turbomeca had made engines to be installed runway swipper.
Theses engines did not have engines logs, because they was prohibited to be installed on aircraft and still are.
Some unscrupulous people tried, and did based on the lack of knowledge of the buyers, installing on aircraft.
You have some other ways to find out, but I will keep that to myself to prevent a cover-up of a not airworthy
engine.
963G-86-A2 is a ground equipment engine and tried to make it as a fake 963F3 engine.
