Sadly, this B-25J 45-8811 crashed near Melun on 31 May 2011 and was considered lost. However, almost 15 years later, the remains still are in the restoration hangar at Melun, so fingers crossed one day 'Russell's Raiders' will take off again.

Built as P-51D 44-74427 for the USAAF, the aircraft operated with the RCAF from 1950 until 1959 as 9592. From 1960 onwards it has a very long and eventful history in the US (icluding two accidents). In 1994, it received its current fake identity as P-51K 44-11622 Nooky Booker IV. By 2024, the aircraft had been added to the Red Bull fleet. The colourscheme remained the same as it was, except that the horse on the tail was replaced by a bull...

This Spitfire has an interesting history. After its service with the RAF as MH415, it first went to the Netherlands East Indies Air Force as H-108 (later reserialled to H-65). The aircraft went back to the Netherlands after Indonesia became independent. The Spitfire was then sold to Belgium as SM40. After its military service it flew first in the USA, and then in Australia. In 2020, the aircraft came back to Europe.

This former ALAT Gazelle has been saved for posterity by APPAF. I am not sure whether it was a good idea to change the words "armée de TERRE" on the helictopter into "appaf de TERRE" though...

This all black Mi-2 is a bit of a mystery. According to helicopter-database.de it has had several previous identities, including UR-23649 with the Ukraine AF from 1993 until 1999 and LA-23649 with Chaika Avia Company from 2001 until 2002. In 2003, it came to France, first still in its orginal largely white colourscheme, but as of 2004 in an all black scheme as RA-1149K. Since 2022 it has this Republic of Moldova registration, but why? The original ER-20257 was wfu in Moldova with the registration cancelled in 2015. Or is this the latter? (with c/n 547215071).
