Just in case someone is interested...fortunate enough to get to Paris almost every month but haven't been out to Le Bourget for years [about 40 to be exact, in another life ]
It's looking a little shabby and rundown at the moment with all the outside exhibits and many of the inside ones needing some TLC. Surprisingly for France the restaurant is shite also.
WWI section has been spruced up but generally it's in poor shape...they had a fire some years back which destroyed some exhibits. The 1919-39 Hall is closed for 'renovation' but there seemed to be little work going on ...
Mainstay outside is a 747 which you can walk through and was pleasantly surprised that a lot of it was cut away inside to show 'internals'...
Saudi -400 parked...it's a busy airport.
A prototype and production Concorde nose to nose...most cared for exhibit there and looked quite impressive.
