This aircraft type was long use, main between France and the french african colonies (first use from Air France, after only from french airforce) : this is the safest aircraft never built: none was killed or seriuously injured from him, only 2 light crashes at landing: one in africa (aircraft too damaged , scraped on place) the second emergency land in a field in France, repaired on place and take of in a 300m field, pilot alone with minimum gas on board...make such thing with a modern liner (...). Only the first prototype use 1590hp Snecma Gnome Rhone R14, the serials use stronger Pratt and Whitney R2800 2100, 2400 and 2500hp, but the aircraft was still a bit too ligh powered, a better engine choice had been the Bristol Centaurus or the Wright R3350 ...
I think 50's & early 60's alloy used to build those aircraft was impact resistent compared to today's airplanes alloy that disintegrated during strong crash
Muy buen documento... Y EXCELENTE la música... ¿qué tema es y quién lo interpreta? En cuanto a motorización, llevaron originalmente los SNECMA pero luego los reemplazaron por los P&W 2800, de arriba de 2400 HP
Très très très très belle machine.... J'adore
Much of this aircraft was ahead of its time.
Original Le Breguet multi-purpose construction.
Some A380 times past.
I saw an Air France breguet at Lyon airport in the early 60s going to Algeria. I wanted to go on it.

Really?! How old are you?!
Two are still visible, one is in a sorry state on an airfield near Paris, the other is restaured in Toulouse.
Le Sierra Oscar.......que de souvenirs avec cet appareil.
Красивый самолет!!!
C'était le bon temps de l'aviation 🙂
Beautiful airplane

Merci beaucup pour les Infos
Il a atterri où dans la vidéo ??
Marseille peut-être; à une époque, il y avait une rotation Alger/Marseille
leneanderthalien Fascinating information.
The safety record is not statistically significant, because so few were built.
Its a constellation that gained to much weight...
saw one of these land at heathrow when I was a lad ,quite beautiful !
Bisavó do A-380
segun lo que veo esos motores son P&W 1,800 kW (2,400 hp) Pratt & Whitney R-2800-CA18con helices hamilton standard
WOW beautiful large doors
I believe that this aircraft was at one time evaluated by a British airline called Silver City for medium haul car ferry flights into Europe.
They used Bristol Freighters for that, there was a car transport line between Lympne (England) and Le Touquet (France)

No airplane survives impact in a crash.
@@GH-oi2jf have a look at plane wreckages from world war II and compare them with today's planes wreckages after a crash, you'll see what I mean
Anyone know the name if the background song?
Blue Sinfonia .
@@abbush2921 can you share the link to it?
