Bye to Tucano in FAF

Assigned to the SIRPA Air (Service d'Information & de Relations Publiques de l'Armée) this jaguar often appeared during airshows, open days... as a traveling exhibition. The code 7-DE is fully fake

Note the four JATO bottles under the fuselage. This a/c is currently on display at the Musee de l'Air de l'Espace at Paris-Le Bourget.

This aircraft visited Darwin in support of the participation of French Air Force Rafales in exercise Pitch Black 2022. It still carries the special markings celebrating the A400M's 10,000 hours mark which was reached several years earlier...

Built in 1915, this Nieuport 12 was a gift to Canada from the Government of France. Transported from France to Halifax by steamship in February 1917, the War Trophies Board exhibited the aircraft across North America as a war relic, to raise public support for the war effort. This Nieuport was the first aircraft that the Canadian government retained for its historical significance, and is one of only two known to exist worldwide. It was transferred to the Canadian War Museum in the 1930s and to this Museum in 1965. In the 1990s, the Museum restored it to appear as it would have done in 1917.

A nice depiction of how a crash barrier stops an aircraft.
