Aviamagazine attended the first of two public days at the end of a full week bi-annual Paris Air Show on Saturday June 20th. Although the weather was good, the show was somewhat disappointing.
Like previous editions many manufactures already left Le Bourget on Thursday and Friday. A real shame as both Boeing 787s (one in full Vietnam Airlines colors), the new Bombardier CS100 and 300 and Airbus’s 350 and A380, both in Qatar colors left, leaving only the factory A350 and A380.
But it wasn’t all bad. The Pakistani JF-17, Turkish T-129, DGA-EV F100 and Brazilian Navy H225M (N7107, not on photo) was a real treat. The CL-415 in the air show was a great addition which you don’t see much anymore these days. And of course the A350 and A400 demo’s still impress.
For now this was the last time we visited the public air show as from a news- and aviation enthusiast perspective it isn’t interesting anymore. Hopefully the organization, in the future, will encourage the factories to stay, even on public days.
