This is a heavily modified Let C-11 (Yak-11) trainer now powered by an Allison engine. Ex N9YK which still had a radial engine. It was then called a Yak-9 but this seems to make no sense as the trainer was based on the Yak-3 while the Yak-9 was a slighty larger and heavier, all-metal fighter which never used a radial engine.

Rotorspot list two instances of ER-20257, with this one flagged as fake - it is safe to assume that this is ex RA-1149K, the black Mi-2 that used to sit at Lognes - Emerainville on the other side of Paris.

There is only one aeroplane here in the Alfa Romeo museum, but what a stunner. It is painted as I-ASSI (c/n 04) which made a South American tour for the benefit of handicapped Italian kids in 1949, named Angel of the Children in Spanish and Italian. On the tailfin is a quote from Saint Francis of Assisi.

To my surprise, I found this Mirage here which presumably landed with a technical issue. Some people who were renovating a building on the right must have had a perfect side-on view of the aircraft, but understandably, they were not sure about letting me photograph the bomber from the windows. Serial 654 and SPA 95 marking confirmed, and code still 3-ID.

Griffon-powered photo recce Spitfire. The FR.XIVe only carried one oblique camera, facing either to port or to starboard, to photograph a target area while turning. Downward-facing cameras didn't work at low altitude.

The special paint is not for the 90th anniversary of the Armee de l'Air, which became independent of the army in 1933, but for the 90th anniversary of the E-3F unit, the 36e Escadre, which I gather was upgraded from a Groupe Autonome d'Observation in 1932.

An altiport is defined as a small mountain airport with a sloped runway. LFHM is at an elevation of 1472 m (4830 ft) and has a runway of 434 m (1424 ft) with a 7% slope. The Jodel D.140, F-BOPG, is parked but take-off runs commence just to its left, with some pilots using every inch of concrete and even the grass verge.
