The prototype Caudron C.630 Simoun first flew in 1935. The plane proved fast, well equipped for flight in poor visibility and a the dihedral wing gave a great guarantee of stability making it very popular with pilots. This plane was delivered to the postal company Air Bleu in August 1935 and went on to fly with an unknown owner with the registration CS-ADG.

The Jaguar E was a two-seat training version for the Armée de l'Air. Two prototypes (is this one of them?) and 40 production aircraft were built.

This 741 was originally delivered to AF as N28903 in February 1973, only becoming F-BPVJ in December 1981/January 1982. Apart from two short lease periods with Air Algerie (April - May 1985) and Sabena (June 1992 - August 1992), it flew its whole commercial life with AF and was transferred to this museum in February 2000.

This P-51D was built at Inglewood in December 1944 as 44-63871 and transported by sea to the UK in February 1945. It was TOC by the USAAF 8th Air Force but did not go into action, rather was ferried to Sweden in April where it entered service as J26, with Upplands Flygflottilj F16 based in Uppsala, serving there until 1952. It then went to Israel and took part in the Suez campaign. Once removed from the Israeli reserve its history is unknown but surfaced sometime later in Cannes with the civil registration N9722F. It was purchased by the museum in July 1968 and is on display in these fake markings.

The Potez 43 was a family of French light utility and sports aircraft, developed in early 1930s. They were three-seat single-engine high-wing monoplanes. The Potez 437 was a modified version with a 89 kW (120 hp) Renault 4Pdi engine. It first flew in July 1934 and 9 were produced.

The Caudron C.60 was a French two-seat ytaining biplane of the 1920s and 1930s

The Jaguar A was a single-seat all-weather tactical strike, ground-attack fighter version developed for the French Air Force. Two prototypes (I presume this is one of them) and 160 production aircraft built.

On display with a fake registration and in EALA (escadrilles d'aviation légère d'appui - Air Defence Squadron) markings. The plane is in fact ex- French Air Force 114522 (ex USAF 51-14522),

The D-530 was the final iteration of the series of Dewoitine D.27 and D.53 fighters from the interwar period, with this example being used by Marcel Doret, the manufacturer's test pilot and international aerobatic pilot, to test the Hispano Suiza 12Md engine in 1930. The plane was used in air shows up until WWII and then again after its conclusion.

This Jaguar was delivered to the AdlA in 1977. At the start of Operation Desert Storm on January 17, 1991, the plane hit by a missile during the raid on Al-Jaber. Dismantled and repatriated to France on board two Transall C160s, it was transferred in 1994 to the Châteaudun AB 279 where it served as an instructional airframe for the training of mechanics in combat damage repairs.

This P-47D-30-RE was delivered in September 1944 to the USAAF and transferred to the AdlA in October, where it was assigned to GC I/4 Navarre until 1950 before moving to the 10th Wing. It was donated to the museum in 1963 and is on display wearing the insignia of GC II/5 La Fayette.

The interwar period was a prosperous period for light aviation, one facet of which was the development of aerial aerobactics as a competitive sport. The 1927 Zurich 'Competition of Aerial Virtuosity' is considered to be the first unofficial world championship in this new discipline. The winner was Alfred Fronval flying this M-S AI. He died a year later and the manufacturer Robert Morane sold the plane to the museum. It was extensively overhauled in the early 1970s and underwent a complete restoration between 2013 and 2016 to retore it to its 1927 appearance.

The Neptune proved to be an export success, being in service with eight countries including France. The French Navy receive its first example in June 1953 and they showed impressive longevity as the last Neptune based in the Pacific was finally retired in 1984.

Equipped with a swept wing, the Mystère IV was capable of reaching Mach 1 in a dive. In total 411 frames were produced between 1954 and 1958, at first with the Rolls-Royce Tay engine or later with the more powerful Verdon. This example is in reality 105 although it is on display in the colours of a 2e escadre (2nd squadron) plane.

At the end of the war, this Fw-190 was under repair in France. The Cravant Fw-190 repair shop still contained enough parts for more than 70 examples to be built by SNCAC (the successor to Farman) under the designation NC 900, without taking into account the multiple sub-versions to which they belonged. Therefore, this Fw-190 A-8 was rebuilt as a NC 900 with cn 62 and with an A-7 wing. It is on display in the Hall Seconde Guerre mondiale It wears the colours of Oberst Josef Priller, Kommodore of JG 26, an ace with 101 victories, two thirds of them on the Fw-190.

As early as 1915, Hugo Junkers was working on an all-metal low-wing aircraft. This innovative concept was rejected by the Luftstreitkräfte despite the duralumin structure that offered pilots relatively greater safety. Finally, the J.9 design was approved, designated D-I but only arrived to front line pilots in the last months of the war. Despite the qualities of speed and maneuverability, only 41 copies were built, in particular due to a difficult construction. This plane is the only extant example that survives today.

The French Navy used the HUP-2 for SAR missions during the Indochina war and so this example (original United States Navy BuNo 128594) is on display in the Hall des Hélicoptères. This frame became N5SA after its military service and joined this super museum in May 1997.

The Bell 47G evolved from the Model 30 and was the first certified civil helicopter, In France it was used by the Army Light Aviation (l'Aviation légère de l'armée de terre) and the Gendarmerie.

This is the second Ouragan prototype that flew for the first time in July 1949 and was retired in 1953.

During its service life this Draken was based in Uppsala and after retirement flew to the museum in November, 1978, donated to the museum by the Swedish Government.
