The CL-215 was the first plane ever designed solely for firefighting. In total Canadair produced 125 sold to seven different countries. The Sécurité civile used the CL-215 since 1969, with the last flight of taking place in October, 1996 being superceded by to the more powerful CL-415. This example arrived at the museum for display in April 2009.

This R-Class Zeppelin made its first flight on 22nd February 1917 and made 15 reconnaissance missions around the Eastern Front and the Baltic Sea and (or including?) 3 attacks that dropped a total of 6,000 kilograms (13,000 lb) of bombs. In 1920 it was ordered to be transferred to France as part of war reparations and used there for testing and evaluation. Only the rear engine gondola survives and is on display at this super museum.

This three-engined heavy transport helicopter held the distinction of being the most powerful helicopter to be built in Europe as well as being the world's fastest. The Super Frelon (Super Hornet) was a more powerful development of the original SE.3200 Frelon, which had failed to enter production. In December 1962, this Super Frelon prototype made the type's maiden flight and around 110 of both civilian and military versions were produced. The type was in service in France with the Aéronavale until April 2010.

This 380 first flew in October 2005 and went on to represent Airbus and the type at airports and air shows all over the world. It has been prserved at this super museum since February 2017.

The DFS (Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug - German Research Institute for Gliding) Habicht (Hawk) was designed in 1936 by Hans Jacobs. Four Habichts enthralled spectators at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games by performing over and inside the Olympic stadium. It seems only two original Habichts survived WWII. This example was flown by famous French aerobatic pilot Marcel Doret, who won the aerobatic world cup for gliders with it in 1939. The other Habicht, registration D-8002, flew in Southern Germany until it was destroyed by the collapse of the hangar in which it was stored.

The Mystère 20 prototype on display in front of some more modern biz-jets, for which this plane blazed the way. The coloured sash on the nose signifies that this plane, with Jacqueline Auriol at the controls, set a female world speed record on June 10, 1965 with an average speed of 859 km/h over 1000 km.

This first Concorde prtotype was built by Aérospatiale at Toulouse and made the inaugural test flight from Toulouse on 2nd March 1969. It first went supersonic on 1st October of that year and went on to fly with Aérospatiale until October 1973 when it was retired to this super museum for display. The small sticker between the forward door and windshield signifes that this plane was modified with rooftop portholes for use on the 1973 Solar Eclipse mission and equipped with observation instruments. It performed the longest observation of a solar eclipse to date, about 74 minutes.

This Caravelle 12 was originally delivered to Sterling Airways in February 1972 as OY-SAE. It then flew with Air Inter from 1983 until 1991 and finally Air Provence until 1995. This Caravelle also has the honour of being the last of of its type to visit Heathrow (LHR)

The Breguet G.11E was developed in secret during the German occupation of France but it turned out to be underpowed. It was re-designed and equipped with more a powerful engine and an elongated coaxial three-bladed rotor s,ystem and became the G 111. Unfortunately an accident in 1953 precipitated the end of the program and the prototype is on display in Le hall des hélicoptère.

This Mercure was delivered in September 1974 and made the final ever flight of the type on 3rd May 1995 when it arrived at LFPB for display at the museum.

Farman tried to capitalise on the interest in light aviation that arose after the end of WWI. The company launched two models in 1936 each weighing barely 400 kg: the single-seater 451 and the two-seater 455. The 451 entered production but the only one prototype 455 was built and it is on display in the Inter-war Years Hall.

This 741 was originally delivered to AF as N28903 in February 1973, only becoming F-BPVJ in December 1981/January 1982. Apart from two short lease periods with Air Algerie (April - May 1985) and Sabena (June 1992 - August 1992), it flew its whole commercial life with AF and was transferred to this museum in February 2000.

This P-51D was built at Inglewood in December 1944 as 44-63871 and transported by sea to the UK in February 1945. It was TOC by the USAAF 8th Air Force but did not go into action, rather was ferried to Sweden in April where it entered service as J26, with Upplands Flygflottilj F16 based in Uppsala, serving there until 1952. It then went to Israel and took part in the Suez campaign. Once removed from the Israeli reserve its history is unknown but surfaced sometime later in Cannes with the civil registration N9722F. It was purchased by the museum in July 1968 and is on display in these fake markings.

The Potez 43 was a family of French light utility and sports aircraft, developed in early 1930s. They were three-seat single-engine high-wing monoplanes. The Potez 437 was a modified version with a 89 kW (120 hp) Renault 4Pdi engine. It first flew in July 1934 and 9 were produced.

The D-530 was the final iteration of the series of Dewoitine D.27 and D.53 fighters from the interwar period, with this example being used by Marcel Doret, the manufacturer's test pilot and international aerobatic pilot, to test the Hispano Suiza 12Md engine in 1930. The plane was used in air shows up until WWII and then again after its conclusion.

This Jaguar was delivered to the AdlA in 1977. At the start of Operation Desert Storm on January 17, 1991, the plane hit by a missile during the raid on Al-Jaber. Dismantled and repatriated to France on board two Transall C160s, it was transferred in 1994 to the Châteaudun AB 279 where it served as an instructional airframe for the training of mechanics in combat damage repairs.

This P-47D-30-RE was delivered in September 1944 to the USAAF and transferred to the AdlA in October, where it was assigned to GC I/4 Navarre until 1950 before moving to the 10th Wing. It was donated to the museum in 1963 and is on display wearing the insignia of GC II/5 La Fayette.

At the end of the war, this Fw-190 was under repair in France. The Cravant Fw-190 repair shop still contained enough parts for more than 70 examples to be built by SNCAC (the successor to Farman) under the designation NC 900, without taking into account the multiple sub-versions to which they belonged. Therefore, this Fw-190 A-8 was rebuilt as a NC 900 with cn 62 and with an A-7 wing. It is on display in the Hall Seconde Guerre mondiale It wears the colours of Oberst Josef Priller, Kommodore of JG 26, an ace with 101 victories, two thirds of them on the Fw-190.

As early as 1915, Hugo Junkers was working on an all-metal low-wing aircraft. This innovative concept was rejected by the Luftstreitkräfte despite the duralumin structure that offered pilots relatively greater safety. Finally, the J.9 design was approved, designated D-I but only arrived to front line pilots in the last months of the war. Despite the qualities of speed and maneuverability, only 41 copies were built, in particular due to a difficult construction. This plane is the only extant example that survives today.
