As Toulouse was only another hour away and sort of on the way back (well, not really ), I decided to head out there and see what I could see there.
First stop was Francazal Airport. Unfortunately the main barrier was closed and I could not gain entrance, but the road to the control tower was still open, which made the following (some heat-haze ruined) pictures possible.
1. This all-white ATR-72-600 F-WWEY was originally destined for Cubana, but that deal is off:

2. Brand new ATR-42-600 c/n 1416 should get F-WWLQ as a test-registration and is destined for a Colombian airline:

3. Also present are two former Far Eastern Air Transport ATR-72s, like this 2-HOPY:

4. Crappy shot of this former Jet Airways ATR-72, now registered M-IBAN:

5. And my second Ernest A320 of the day, this OE-IES:

A frustrating visit as much more is present there.
Then it was on to Blagnac. As it was a Saturday nothing was happening, so I limited this visit only to the Aeroscopia Museum. I visited it back in 2017, but since then they have added a new apron outsice with the following planes:
1. The ATR-72-600 prototype, F-WWEY:

2. The 2nd A380-prototype, F-WXXL:

3. The 1st A320, F-WWAI:

4. The 1st A340-600 prototype, F-WWCA:

5. And the very first ATR-42, F-WEGA:

6. As a bonus I was able to capture this A350-900 F-WZGS, which is destined for Ethiopian. It is parked at the large production hangar near the museum across the road of the parking lot:

That's it for this very, very hot day! (44 C). Hope you enjoyed them.
Cheers!
