After contacted me, I performed a borescope inspection to see the shape and health of the engine.
This is what I found :
Conclusion : Engine good to be sent to the scrap yard

Hi, my friend and I are the proud new owners of a Fouga in Kissimmee, FL which we have yet to even see in person. We are scheduled to fly from my home in Destin FL later in Jan to take our first look and have been told the aircraft has not flown in over 5 years but the previous owner had it close to airworthy condition just 2 years ago. My friend and I are both USAF guys but have no Fouga experience. Our plan is to take as many notes and pictures about the condition next month, and then decide on a course of action for bringing it back to its new home in Crestview, FL. I've read most of your blogs and find them very valuable. Would any of you members have any sort of inspection checklist you might be able to offer for this first time look at the airplane? Any advice or info you can share would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at johntotty2@gmail.com or jgtotty@hotmail.com. Many thanks and safe flying!
