    2013 Paris Air Show Highlights

    I had the good fortune to spend my 30th Birthday over in Paris, and part of my gift (to myself) was going to the show. The show itself was amazing, but the spotting was less than...well, amazing. The light was a challenge, even when the skies were clear of clouds. Take enough photos, and some are bound to be reasonable. Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

    Opening Day, the show kicks off!


    Eurofighter Typhoon


    Piaggio Avanti cockpit


    Swiss AF SuperPuma


    Antonov An-70


    Boeing (and Airbus') big bets


    Dreamliner


    Su-35...gettin' vapor...




    A400M, showing off some serious moves.




    A380, owning the sky.

    Thanks everyone. I was thoroughly impressed with the A380 & A400M demo's....pretty agile in the air given their size.
