Whilst on a holiday in Paris in 2013 I missed the opportunity to visit this Museum and regretted it for many years afterwards. So when another holiday to Paris was planned for the latter part of 2018, it was one of the things on my 'to do' list and it proved to be truly worth it.
The four main internal Gallery's are beautifully laid out, are all well lit and the items on display are just amazing. As I moved through each gallery, they kept getting better and better and I was absolutely awestruck by the manner in which the aircraft are displayed, in particular the jets.
However, the external displays were somewhat less than impressive as many of the aircraft are either outside and exposed to the elements or in large poorly lit hangars. Despite this though, there were still many aircraft on display that I hadn't seen before in the flesh, which made it all the more worthwhile. If you are ever in Paris, have the time and are interested in aviation history, then this is one Museum that you must visit.
