Wish someone would restore in the Bolivian colors. I'm getting sick of those bare metal boring sabres. At least there's Hawk One now.

Fouga,
I don't believe there is a boring Sabre out there. They have got to be the sexiest classic jet. Painted or not they have the greatest profile during the overhead break. Don't worry, as the secret owners society will have a surprise for you in the near future. I think it will put a smile on your face.

Fouga...The Bolivian colors would be cool to see on the circuit but believe me that the Bolivian's are better house painters than airplane painters....

Didn't say the Sabres are, just the paint (or lack thereof)

Euh,... Fouga's? :p

Just to make Fouga smile, here's one from my airport. They certainly are pretty birds.

Thanks Ryan

Looks like another Dean Martin bird. Shame about the French markings though, That's an ex-Finnish Air Force one if I'm not mistaken.
