Making a welcome appearance this week at the 2019 Paris Air Show is an example of a French-style icon that is performing important work in the effort to understand climate change 43 years after it was first delivered for the task. Registered D-CMET, the specially modified Dassault Falcon 20E-5 has been operated by the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR, German Aerospace Center) at Oberpfaffenhofen since delivery from the Dassault factory in 1976.
