During 1980 - 90 Cpt Roger Laurent was based at Villacoublay . A long term personal friend now living in Wales lost contact and would welcome any information in order to make contact again. email <griffin.inter@btinternet.com>

According to the "Service de l'Information Aéronautique" (SIA), (www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr)

NDB's OYE 349KHz and POY 430KHz are both discommissionned.

There are no longer NDB's on this airport.

On 25 July 2000, Air France flight 4590, a Concord, had just taken off from nearby Charles-de-Gaulle Airport (CDG) with its fuel tank on fire. It attempted to divert to Le Bourget, but was not able to make it, and crashed into a hotel short of Le Bourget.

Restricted use airfield located inside Paris CTR (Class A airspace). Do not intend to fly inbound this airfield unless your are invited by les Ailerons flying club.

Yes, the airport closed in 1989. It was actually a well-known airport before that. I found the information in the French Wikipedia.
