    Press release From left to right: Daniel Bacou, president of Heritage Avions Morane-Saulnier, Patrick Daher, chairman of Daher group, with members of the construction team, Claude Canerie, Gérard Frances, Mickael Brahier and Jean-Claude Arne. DAHER-SPONSORED MORANE-SAULNIER TYPE L AEROPLANE REPLICA COMES TO EAA AVIATION MUSEUM COLLECTION Extraordinary donation honors 100 years of French-American aviation relationship Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA, August 31, 2017 — In a donation honoring 100 years of the French-American aviation relationship, a full-sized Morane-Saulnier Type L “Parasol” aeroplane replica will join the prestigious Experimental Aircraft Association’s EAA Aviation Museum collection in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. This hand-crafted reproduction of the World War I-era Parasol – an ancestor of Daher’s TBM very fast turboprop aircraft family – was brought by Daher to the U.S. for an appearance at last month’s EAA AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in. During the week-long event, the aeroplane was a major draw, attracting a steady flow of visitors. While the Type L originally was planned for a return to France, it was decided to honor the EAA’s request that the replica be permanently exhibited at the EAA Aviation Museum. It is to be situated near the facility’s entrance, between the historic reproductions of the Wright brothers’ Wright Flyer and Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis. The six-year construction effort for the Type L Parasol replica was managed by the Association Héritage Avions Morane-Saulnier, whose volunteers – both retired and current workers of Daher and predecessor companies (including some Morane- Saulnier veterans in their mid-80s) – contributed their skills, energy and passion.
