Le Bourget Airport

ai generated text

Paris–Le Bourget Airport is an airport located north-northeast of Paris, France, and was Paris's principal airport until the construction of Orly Airport in 1932. It is now used only for general aviation, business jet operations, and hosts air shows, most notably the Paris Air Show. The airport is operated by Groupe ADP and has a rich history, having been the landing site for Charles Lindbergh's historic solo transatlantic crossing in 1927 and the departure point for the ill-fated L'Oiseau Blanc in 1927. The airport also played a significant role in World War II, hosting Adolf Hitler's first and only tour of Paris in 1940. Today, the airport serves domestic and international business aviation and hosts the Musée de l'air et de l'espace, France's main state-owned aviation museum.learn more on wikipedia
