Musée régional de l'air d'Angers-Marcé, Aviation museum at Angers Loire Airport, France
Musée régional de l'air d'Angers-Marcé is an aviation museum located at Angers Loire Airport that houses about 150 aircraft. The collection includes commercial planes, military jets, gliders, and scale models displayed in spacious exhibition halls.
The initiative to create the museum began in 1981 when pilot Christian Ravel started saving historical aircraft from being scrapped. The museum was formally established in 1998 and has grown through donations and acquisitions over the following years.
The museum keeps aviation history alive through its aircraft and documents that tell the story of flight development. Visitors encounter original machines that reflect different periods of how people have worked to master the skies.
The location is easy to reach by car since it sits directly at the airport, and the exhibition halls are straightforward to navigate. Wear comfortable shoes because viewing the full collection involves considerable walking through the spaces.
About 20 aircraft in the collection remain airworthy and can still fly, which sets this place apart from most other aviation museums. Visitors can also watch volunteers in the restoration workshops carefully working on bringing historical planes back to condition.
