The French Navy used the HUP-2 for SAR missions during the Indochina war and so this example (original United States Navy BuNo 128594) is on display in the Hall des Hélicoptères. This frame became N5SA after its military service and joined this super museum in May 1997.

This two-seat trainer Viggen was originally one of the seventeen SK37 built with no radar and reduced fuel capacity but after being TOC with the Flygvapnet ten frames were subsequently converted to the SK37E (Stör-Viggen, the Electronic Warfare Aggressor) trainer version. This example came to the museum in October 2005 and all had been decommissioned by 2007

The SA 319B benefitted from greater power for lower fuel consumption than earlier Alouette models making its performance particularly suitable for high mountainous regions and ensured commercial success. More than 2,000 Alouette IIIs were built up until 1979. The museum's example accumulated 13,478 flight hours and 16,087 people rescued in 35 years.

The French AF bought 20 ex-USN AD-4s as well as 88 ex-USN AD-4Ns and five ex-USN AD-4NAs with the former three-seaters modified to single-seat aircraft with removal of the radar equipment and the two operator stations from the rear fuselage. The AD-4N/NAs were initially acquired in 1956 to replace aging Republic P-47 Thunderbolts in Algeria. The Skyraiders had only a short career in Algeria, but they nonetheless proved to be the most successful of all the ad hoc counter-insurgency aircraft deployed there. The Skyraider remained in limited French service until the 1970s.

The Voisin 10 (or X) was a French two-seat pusher biplane built in two versions, either fitted with a 37 mm cannon (the LBR or Ca.2) or as a conventional bomber (the LAR or Bn.2). It first entered service in late 1917 but had poor performance relative to contemporary fighters so was often relegated to night operations. Despite its obsolescence, it would make up the bulk of front line night bomber escadrilles until the end of the war. This example is the 4th plane produced (not 4 as a serial) and flew with Escadrille V110. This fuselage is the only survivor of all the 900 Voisin 10's built.

The Morane-Saulnier 230 was a two-seater, aerobatic aircraft of mixed construction (wood, metal and canvas) intended for progression training of student pilots onto fighter aircraft. Ih France the type iss intimately associated with the 1930's Patrouille d'Étampes aerobatic team, which would two decades later become the Patrouille de France. Hence, No. 1048 is on display upside down.

This UH-12B was purchased by the museum in October 1997. The Musée de l'air says it 'wears the colours' of 699, a UH-23B delivered in 1954 to the GH-1 Helicopter Group in Satory. It served there it until 1959 before being transferred to GALAT N°7. According to other sources it is really c/n 699.

In order to compete for the Deutsch-Archdeacon Cup rewarding the first aviator capable of flying 1,000 m in a closed circuit, Henri Farman ordered a 50 hp biplane from the manufacturer Voisin. After three and a half months of testing, the plane sucessfully completed the route on January 13, 1908, and established the manufacturer's worldwide reputation. This reproduction is on display at this super museum.

This Yak-3 is on display in the Normandy-Niemen pavilion with different markings on either side. The port side wears the "4 white" scheme of Lt Robert Marchi, who claimed 4 victories and 2 shared on the Yak-3. The starboard side wears the plane's original combat serial of 25 white, which it wore when it was donated by Stalin to France from Russia after WWII in 1945. In 1950, it was disassembled and then restored as a composite from components in a scrapyard and given the serial 18 white for display at Chalais-Meudon. Around 1970 it came to this museum and in 1976 repainted as "4 white".

During the Battle of Stalingrad the Soviets realised that the Yak-1 was badly outclassed and needed to be improved. The result was the Yak-3, which was robust and easy to maintain and much liked by both pilots and ground crew. As it was one of the smallest and lightest combat fighters during WWII, its high power-to-weight ratio gave it excellent performance and it proved to be a formidable dogfighter. Its main disadvantage was the weak resistance of the wooden wing. The Normandie-Niemen did not receive Yak-3s until December 1944, but had shot down 94 aircraft by the end of WWII.

Germany produced around 3,300 D.VII aircraft in the second half of 1918. This rush for quantity lead to many production defects, however, the D.VII proved to be a remarkably successful design and quickly proved itself to be a formidable aircraft. The Armistice ending the war specifically required, in the fourth clause of the "Clauses Relating to the Western Front", that Germany surrender all D.VIIs to the Allies. The type saw widespread use with many countries after WWI.

This D.520 flew originally with the FFI (Frence Forces of the Interior - the pseudo-French resistance air force in the latter stages of WWII) Doret Fighter Group. After storage at Luxeuil and becoming part of this great museum, the plane was painted into the 1940 Battle of France mmarkings of Adj. Pierre Le Gloan, a French WWII flying ace. Unique in the annals of wartime flying, he scored victories against German, Italian and British forces. Flying in the Free French and Vichy French air forces, his exploits made him the only pilot to become a flying ace on both sides.

The Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace has many, many interesting and significant exhibits that are not on public display, rather stored in their compound on the west side of LBG (at Dugny), or elsewhere or have been disposed of one way or another. These valuable pieces are/were outside, exposed to the elements and have suffered accordingly. These are the two museum restoration hangars and so, hopefully, some of this reserve collection is being returned to former glories. Alas it seems ex-AdlA DC-8 45570, as well as ex-AF 707 F-BLCD and ex-AdlA Caravelle 141, will rust away to dust.

The REP Type-K was pressed into service at the start of WWI for aerial reconnaisance. As with many early-war aircraft it was not really suited for its assigned role, in this case primarily because the wing deprived the pilot of a clear downward view and the type was quicly abandoned for aicraft specifically developed for the role. In a few pictures the reg/serial is given as 58.

Designed in 1954, the Alouette II was the first mass-produced turbine-powered helicopter, the powerplant being much lighter and more reliable than a piston engine. A total of 1324 frames were built in France plus several hundred in India. The model on display is the prototype 01, which made its final flight to the museum in October, 1995.

Designed in 1954, the Alouette II was the first mass-produced turbine-powered helicopter, the powerplant being much lighter and more reliable than a piston engine. A total of 1324 frames were built in France plus several hundred in India. The model on display is the prototype 01, which made its final flight to the museum in October, 1995.
