Ailes Anciennes du Bourget tour

The Île-de-France group of the Association Aéronautique et Astronautique de France (3AF) is organizing a technical visit to "Les Ailes Anciennes du Bourget".

Les Ailes Anciennes du Bourget is an association under the French law of 1901 that works to preserve, safeguard and maintain our aeronautical heritage.

Initially set up to help the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace at Le Bourget refurbish its aircraft, the association began a few years ago to recover abandoned aircraft.

It is made up of around fifty members who restore vintage aircraft and engines. This represents an average of almost 9,000 hours of work per year.

Since the association was founded in 1977, over 30 aircraft and 60 engines have been restored for the Air and Space Museum.

Les Ailes Anciennes houses a library devoted to aeronautical literature (history, encyclopedias, biographies) and archives from the early days of aviation to the 1970s (magazines, newspapers, books, photos, plans and technical documentation).

The visit will be led by Jean Jacques CLUZEAU, president of the association.
