The museum says that this is a Chanute 1896 replica, built in 1979 by Roger Adam, and loaned from the RSA since 1998. However, it doesn't really resemble a Chanute although it is clearly based on its design.

This P-60A has never flown but it was built to show the internal construction. It is doing that well here in the Espace Air Passion, which was previously named Musée Régional de l'Air. The uncovered side can be seen here.

First registered as F-CAIC, it became F-CRJI in Nov-1964. In 1980 it was saved by Christian Ravel from being burned at a barbeque and this aircraft became the basis for the formation of the GPPA (Groupement pour la Préservation du Patrimoine Aéronautique). In 1998 the Musée Régional de l'Air was formed at Angers-Marcé (now Angers-Loire) which was renamed Espace Air Passion in 2013.

F-AJUL first flew 09-Jul-1930. In Dec-1931 René Lefèvre flew it from Paris to Tananarive, Madagascar in 14 days. A year later, in Dec-1932 he flew it from Paris to Saigon, Vietnam in 10 days. The return flight was made in 8 days only. By 1957 it was still complete, but later the aircraft went into storage without the wings (which were burned) at the Musée Castel-Mauboussin at Cuers-Pierrefeu. In 1998 it came to the Musée Régional de l'Air at Angers-Loire which in 2013 changed its name to Espace Air Passion. It has a Salmson 9ADb engine of only 45 hp.

Built in 1957 it was delivered to the French Army as 38 and coded MJC. In 1993 it was registered as F-BFKL and later went to the Musée Régional de l'Air at Angers-Loire which in 2013 changed its name to Espace Air Passion.
