Cessna 150 F-GFFO to the right

Delivered to the USAAF as 43-2023 in 1942. To NC19934 in 1945, N19934 after 1948, N93C in 1954, N81R in 1956, N400RS in 1978 and N56NA in 1985. Preserved at Montelimar from 2001. Now in French military colours.

The Belgian Mirages were withdrawn from in 1993 and put into storage. Some modernized ones were sold to Chile and the other remained in the Weelde hangars until the French company SAGEM saw an opportunity and bought over 20 pieces. These were transported to France, but in the end the plans did not materialize. Now many Belgian Mirages can be found in museum in France.

The Falcon 20SNA (or in French service Mystere 20SNA) was fitted with a Mirage F1 radar nose for training purposes. Many flew with CiTAC 339, but this one was one of a series that was operated by CEV.

This C-53 has no French history. It flew as 43-2023 with the USAAF and received several US civil registrations (NC19934 , N93C, N81R, N400RS and finally N56NA) before ending up in the Montelimar museum

The Tucano took an early exit from French service in 2009, after only some 14 years.

Ex German Bronco 9927 was first noted at the museum in September 1995. By 2017 the aircraft had been removed from display and moved into one of the museum's storage hangars.

In fading markings with the remnants of code 319-DC barely visible.

N56NA (ex USAAF 43-2023 and United Air Lines N19934) was operated by Northern Airways since Sep 1983 and withdrawn from use by them in July 1989. It was acquired by Peter Milic and flown to Europe in May 1990, then on to Africa. In July 1991 it arrived at Jerusalem, Israel for storage (until at least June 1994). Then in July 1996 the Skytrooper turned up in France, and was first seen at the museum in May 1998. It was registered to Sunbest Industries Corp. in March 2001 and then to Maghreb Aero Service in September 2001, but those were paper actions only and the aircraft has remained on display ever since.

Three former French Air Force aircraft in the museum's storage area, awaiting their fate. On the left is Mirage IIIB N° 233, which was later restored and placed on a pole. In the middle is CM 170R Magister N° 458, which moved to Poland for display in the Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego in Kraków less than a year after this photo was taken. On the right is Mirage IIIE N° 418, which was still in dismantled storage by 2017.

This Armstrong Whitworth-built Meteor was allocated RAF serial WM296, but it never flew as such. Instead, it was transferred to the Armée de l'Air immediately after delivery, for use by the Centre d'Essais en Vol (CEV) for guided weapons testing. Withdrawn from use in mid 1985, the aircraft became part of the collection of the Musée Aéronautique de Champagne (Brienne-le-Château) in 1988. By 2001 it had moved to the Musée Européen de l'Aviation de Chasse, as seen here.

This Broussard was first noted at the museum October 1996. By 2017 the aircraft had been removed from display and moved into one of the museum's storage hangars.
