Some warbird owners vehemently deny that their plane, with only an original c/n plate or a few small parts, is a replica. Having a new designation, the Lycoming-powered Yak-9UM makes no false claims of being completely authentic. This aircraft even says 'Replica' on the canopy frame, although I'd say it is an original UM. It also wears the text 'Москва' (Moscow). Soviet WWII aircraft often wore slogans in this fashion, rather than names.

Never served in the US Army. Delivered to the French army as 24705, its construction number. Now painted as an US Army aircraft in Vietnam but strangely, painted in the data block on the nose is the s/n of an L-19A, 51-4754 (c/n 21639), which served in the Korean War and was loaned to the RAF for use by British general James Cassels.

The superb lines of the P-51.

Flown by Catherine Maunoury (1954), female world aerobatic champion of 1988 and 2000 and Présidente of the Aéro-Club de France.

Four Indian Air Force Rafales were deployed to BA105 Evreux to support the Indian contingent that participated in the French National day parade (also named Bastille day) over the Champs-Élysées, Paris on 14 July 2023. The Indians were invited because in 2023, France and India celebrated 25 years of strategic partnership. Three Rafales made part of the massive formation flight that consisted out of over 70 aircraft. Although unmarked, this Rafale belonged to 101sq "Falcons"based at Jalpaguiri/Hashimara AFS (India). The aircraft made its first flight late 2021 and was delivered on 22 Feb'22.
