Hello guys,

I red the topic about people lurking here without participating a lot. So as a long time reader I would like to thank you all for the quality of your contributions. And I would share with you my last trip to the musée de l'air, Le Bourget, Paris. A very beautiful collection, but not easy to take pictures.

Greetings from Switzerland !

It's wonderful to see the B-26 and others on display again... when I was there in 2004, they were still in the storage hangar under tarps. We were lucky enough to get to see them, but the general public was not...

And yes, it IS in fantastic shape... like it was rolled off the assembly line and put on display.

You are right, this B-26 is in perfect shape, I put some more, I feel some interest on her.

Thank you for looking

Thanks Alain! Those are fantastic. It is nice to have a bit more of a global perspective on this forum.

Nice shots of one of the world's great museum collections. Got any from the WWI collection inside the fabulous art deco former terminal building?

I understand that museum has the original fuselage fabric removed from Charles Lindbergh's Spirit Of St. Louis. Unfortunately it's in storage

What a sweet B-26!

That Marauder is spectacular! I believe she's a sister ship of the one at the NMUSAF. Both are ex-French Air Force, and (I think) were Air France mechanics' training aids post-war.

Hi Mike,

The WWI collection is terrific, you are right, but sadly, I took no shots of it, I am more into WW2 stuff.

Have a nice day

Beautiful B-26!! I wish she were flying... Are there any B-26's flying or in restoration to become airworthy? I know of Kermits but last time I saw her fly she was in poor shape...

It's been said a few times before, but that B-26 looks absolutely great.
