Furthermore visitors can have a seat in a cockpit of a jet fighter. The museum is managed by an association (EALC: Espaces Aero lyon Corbas) of more than a hundred members, all volunteers. The association supports the restoration of all the exhibits and also provides aeronautical formation for students and tries to enhance aeronautical culture.

The Clément ADER museum ensures both the restoration and the exhibition of the goods it offers for visit. The restoration of aircraft carries out work whose quality has been rewarded, particularly by the classification of our Mirage IV-P as historical monuments and the obtaining of the “Atelier du Patrimoine Aéronautique Vivant” label for its technical teams.
The exhibition offers unique visit conditions in France since all our visits are guided (no free visit is possible). This allows visitors to get as close as possible to the devices and to benefit from the explanations of the guide who, moreover, is able to answer visitor’s questions. Furtermore visitors can have a seat in a cockpit of a jet fighter. Despite the constraints that these visiting methods entail (training of guides, availability, english speaking), the feedback we get from our visitors is excellent.
