Sud Aviation SE 210 Caravelle 02

Registration F-BHHI, c/n 02 of Air France. Withdrawn from use in 1968, stored at Vilgenis. Broken up in January 1976. Nose section delivered to Musée de l'Air Paris Le Bourget.
Same aircraft in other works at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Civil Fixed-Wing).

Shortly after the pilot asked the control tower "Romeo Juliet ready to start", we see F-BHHII taxiing...

Particularly realistic Caravelle's cockpit, including (center) engine control unit.

Later too, radio exchange with the control tower are done with the radio call sign "Romeo Juliet" but we still see Hotel India in flight !

Despite some scene were filmed at Rome Ciampino (see the Discussion tab), all the scenes shot in the parking or during the taxiing of the aircraft are showing the Aéroport de Paris-Le Bourget even if the Caravelle is taking off from Italia!

Le Bourget control tower on the right edge. Behind the engine, in the distance, the first of the five Lassier's hangar, usually named Air Union hangar.
