The Magister was the world’s first operational jet basic trainer, and was designed by Castello and Mauboissin (hence the CM.170 designation). First flown in 1952, a total of around 929 were built in France, Germany, Israel and Finland. This one was originally delivered to the Armee de l’Air (French Air Force) in 1963 with serial 395. Registered in USA as N395F to Paradise Aero Inc, Long Beach, California in April 1993, it passed through a number of owners until being struck off the US register in July 2003 and was registered in Australia as VH-ATG. The aircraft is currently being restored to airworthy status.
