There are a couple of very unusual jet aircraft at Saint Augustine Airport, Florida 32095
From Google Earth:
Latitude: 29°57'29.75"N
Longitude: 81°20'27.26"W

One is a Fouga CM.170 Magister

The other jet aircraft looks vaguely like a MS 760 Paris Jet, BUT the T-Tail has large counter balance weights on the horizontal stabalizer, tip tanks and a lumpy looking cabin, it also looks about the same size or slightly smaller than the Magister. Straight wings.

I thought I was good, but this one has me stumpted.

Sorry no local photos available, restricted area.

Consensus is an MS 760 Paris jet. I called the FBOs, they didn't know. I called the Airport admin, their Public Affairs person couldn't tell a hawk from a handsaw.

A grizzled old admin type from Northrop-Grumman thinks it may be abandoned property as most of the 760s in this country are out of registration. I looked at the FAA website and none are registered in this county. The 2008 Democrat Depression killed a lot of personal fortunes and led to the abandonment of expensive toys. There are yards full of decaying yachts, abandoned horses bankrupting stables and lines at odd corners of airports where neglected richy toys are moldering away, not worth the legal action to seize them for unpaid fees.

Sigh, there were several models of the 760, a four-seat jet made, modified and sold by various companies.

I couldn't get an N number. No longer allowed to stumble around the perimeter of an airport with a direct flight to Washington DC like a wide eyed kid, sigh.

Who is annoyed...
