Meanwhile over at the Paris Airshow... The skies opened up and the show went on. Weather was almost ideal as the temperatures stayed cool and only two light moments of rain broke the perfect climate. The show was ...well Big. So many halls of exhibits, but frankly once you have seen extruded aluminum, and bearings and life rafts and and and.. it was time to step outside to see planes, planes, and more planes. The difference from N. American shows was the obvious presence of Military hardware and blatant, actually frightening marketing of the same. The latest gadgets were the Unmanned vehicles. As an RC flyer, I really liked seeing them. There is also a new BD-5 type plane that caught my eye as a high performance ultralight pusher. More photos to follow. For now, here are a few.

Hi Dale & Laurel.
Thanks for all the blogs.
We were in Paris last week and went to the airshow on Sunday. Managed to get a VIP tour of the Airbus 380 and then watched the flying part of the show from the Airbus lounge, while eating there food and wine. It was great...

Wow way to go. Too bad we didn't catch you. Lucky to get the VIP treatment. Falcon Dassault gave us ramp passes and free entrance to the VIP lanes but no lounge passes so we were stuck out in the cold. Not bad tho. How was the 380? I assume the cockpit is similar to the 340s.
