Engine
Two Turbomeca Marboré II F3 turbojets, overhauled in 2013 by France's recognized Fouga specialist and closely monitored since — right engine ~1,600 h, left engine ~1,690 h. Under the CNRA registration the former 1,500-hour military limit is replaced by detailed inspection of critical engine sections (e.g. hot-section crack checks), extending life on condition. A fully overhauled spare engine (0 h) is included in the sale.
Propeller
Avionics
Modernized for current operations while preserving the original military panel. Installed in 2023: a Trig TY92 8.33 kHz com radio (16 W), a Trig TT22 transponder with TN72 GPS position source providing ADS-B Out, and a Garmin Aera 660 GPS on a fixed mount in the front cockpit. The original French Air Force radio/nav suite is retained in place (non-operative) to preserve the aircraft's military configuration.
Interior
Two-seat tandem military cockpit, retained in 100% original ex-Armée de l'Air configuration.
Exterior
Silver/bare-metal ex-French Air Force scheme with high-visibility orange tail and nose accents and original military markings (coded "331").
Maintenance
Approximately 2,300 hours total time. Restored and engine-overhauled in 2014 by the recognized French Fouga specialist, and continuously maintained by Fouga specialists since — currently by a trained Dole-based team led by a 40-year, two-Fouga owner. Maintained under the French CNRA (collection) regime, which replaces the former military engine life limit with detailed hot-section inspections.
