those are airplanes and they should be flying---

I have no problem with a static museum. Not everyting should fly.

The B 26 is very cool....very complete, and accessable (read get up close and look inside). The balance of the museum is very low key...you may approach all a/c, even touch (ouchs). The outside storage is very impressive as well.
Lucky Lindy's "field"...can't quite remember all the details, my guide that day was an ex French AF pilot, who went on to the aerospace industry, and ultimately helped design the nose and heat disipating materials on the nose of the Concorde.
I swear, accross the field, is a killer WW1 Museum, with some great examples and displays of uniforms, etc. More than that, all early aviation in the Republic. Beautifully done, with seemingly sparce attendance. Just the opposite of the NASM.

Ca va! Oui!
Thats it....if our friend is in Paris, a shame to miss it. Actually more impressive than the WW2 and post museum.
