Ailes Anciennes de Toulouse

The museum had recently moved from the south side of Blagnac Airport to the north, right across the road from the A380 assembly building.

The brand new, huge Aeroscopia museum, sponsored by Airbus, which opened in January 2015, is next door to the Ailes Anciennes site. Several of the aircraft shown on this page have since moved there.
