Blagnac: Musée Aeroscopia
Description
Toulouse was the birthplace of aviation in France, and still plays an important role being the headquarters of Airbus. The city built many planes for the French market and then - showing it is possible to co-operate between nations - helped to build the Concorde. That co-operation effectively created the foundations of Airbus. Several of the test planes that were built including Concorde, Airbus's first plane the A300, as well as the behemoth A380 are on display and you can walk around inside them - the A380 and Concorde still fitted out with some of the test equipment used. There are also displays of several other locally produced planes, as well as exhibits on the development of flight.
