The Vautour, a versatile and powerful aircraft, has left an indelible mark on aviation history. With its various models like the Sud-Aviation SO. 4050 Vautour iiB 640 and the Sud-Ouest SO. 4050 Vautour IIN 356 - 30-FK, this aircraft showcased exceptional capabilities. Among its notable variants is the Sud-Ouest Vautour IIA 109, which demonstrated remarkable performance in combat situations. Additionally, the Sud-Ouest Vautour IIBR 33 and Sud-Ouest Vautour IIBW 70 proved their worth as reliable bombers. During the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in July 2006, Aviation legere de l'armee de Terre presented the Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II 0010 / ABN (msn F4060010). This impressive display highlighted its significance within military operations. Tragically, the Dassault MD. 312 Flamant F-AZAI (msn 228) met with an unfortunate accident at Issoire in September of '99 but remains a testament to its historical importance. Noteworthy among these aircraft is also the Sud-Aviaton SO. 4050 Vautour IIN 348 - F-AZHP and Sud-Ouest SO. 4050 Vautour IIN 347 -30-B; both played vital roles in radar and missile trials under CEV's operation during circa '95. With each model showcasing unique features and contributions to aviation technology, it is evident that the legacy of these vultures will continue to soar high for years to come.
