Great photo survey, and an excellent selection of shots, thanks F3V.

those are airplanes and they should be flying---

In this case the rarity of the Yak 9 and Marauder mitigate against flying them. May I point out there was a B-26 flying, in the US, we are now poorer that airframe and, more importantly, several irreplaceable people.

The 'Fw 190' is a French built example. Remember the stories of worker sabotage?

The Polikarpov - well, a chap in New Zealand didn't bang on on chat forums, he got a new production run of two types and got those back into the air. Of course, not being P-51s, they didn't sell as well as they might have.

If you really want to fly one of the others, get your checkbook out. There's examples available if you aren't just blowing smoke.

Concorde - I'll fly, if you pay the bills.

It's an old line, and boring. Like it or not, we have national museums who preserve aircraft for future generations, statically. These aren't 'airplanes', they are (mostly) ex- military aircraft designed for war. Flying them would only be part of 'using' them. The rest isn't normally permitted - for long.

Regards,

in america you and I can have different opinions and neither one is particularly the RIGHT one for the other guy!

The museum of Bourget Makes it does not have vocation to make steal the restored planes once again, in year 1980 Dewoitine D-520 was repaired of theft but it crashed since planes do not fly any more, than it is for the Yak and to Pilfer it as well that P-47 this plane is rare see unique in Europe it is purely unthinkable to make them steal. As for B-26 Marauder it complies with 99 % in the norms of WWII, he lacks only him spear bulges out in the hold.
The Spitfire Mk XVI could fly, some years ago still he made rollings on the ground.
Concorde will not fly any more on top of that it uses so much combustible as a drunkard in a bar

It is very nice, and you can approach very close. Same on the Concorde...VERY small inside. I may have mixed up locations, but isn't there also one of the premier WW1 collections there as well?
cheers,

yes Concorde is very, very, very smal for me...

Technically, it's an NC-900

From the Warbird Directory, 4th Ed:

No.62 • NC 900A-8 No.62 (Armee de l'Air as No.62)
(Fw190A-8) Musee de l'Air, Paris-Le Bourget 80/02
(displ. as Luftwaffe "7298/13+-" (left) "5+1" (right)

To be fair, I think it was built postwar...

[F3V]

Some Fw 190 parts were recovered in 1945 at Cravant with the planes, they were re-built and assigned to Regiment Normandie Niemen but airframes had summers sabotaged during war and planes were dangerous to make fly
