Visit to Dassault Aviation and Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace

Last year was crowned by our double visit to the NATO AWACS base and Eurocontrol, and this year, we aim even higher. Second Thursday after Easter holiday, we go to Paris! We'll visit Dassault Aviation's plant in Argenteuil, where there are several production and assembly lines for Dassault's Rafale fighter and Falcon business jet.

Before that, we stop at the het Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace, right next to Paris' Charles De Gaulle airport. All top pieces from French aerospace history are on display, including a Concorde prototype. You can find more about the museum at http://www.mae.org.

Practical:

• We plan on leaving Leuven at about 7h. Fuel costs will be shared.
• We visit the museum first, and then are expected at Dassault around 14h30.
• For the Dassault visit, we'll need your name, nationality, birth date and place, but also a scan of your ID card. We need to have everything Sunday evening April 4th at the latest!
• The number of participants is limited, so if you'd like to join the visit, send an email quickly to simonvdb [at] gmail [dot] com.
