Aircraft and collections: French naval aviation, fighter, patrol and naval helicopters. The City of Rochefort describes the museum as accessible on scheduled visits, and an official municipal event notice reports 33 aircraft. Its airframe selection here is intentionally short until the volunteer collection catalog is reviewed.

The entries below are selected source-attributed airframes and artifacts, not a promise that every item is accessible on the date of a visit. Collection holdings, restoration projects, replicas, partial airframes and public displays are distinguished where the institution provides sufficient evidence. Please check visitor arrangements directly with the museum.
