Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace, Paris, France

[Richard M]

I had a few days in Paris and managed to visit the Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace. Here are some pictures of the static display outside. The internal displays are in quite dark hangers which aren't very good for photography. Mainly French, not a lot of WW2 aircraft, mainly 50's onwards with some civil and commercial aircraft. Not a lot of modern/current on display. The aircraft all look well used! Unfortunately it was half term so there were hundreds of kids everywhere, the staff adamantly refused to let me across the barriers to get close ups of the undersides and gear bays etc. I do have some semi-walkarounds of the Draken, F104, Etendard, Mig and Atlantic to post up.

Entrance with three Fouga Magisters of the Patrouille de France Display Team.

Hello all,
