Re: Le Bourget 20-23+24-26 June

F-WWAZ was already scheduled to arrive, so it had nothing to do with the accident. As far as I know, only the specific company aircraft is certified for displays.
F-WWDDs complete wingtip is missing, and word goes that it will not fly at all during the coming week.

Re: Le Bourget 20-23+24-26 June

The C-27 is parked somewhere at the centre of the airfield. You can see it if you stand in front of the 4 hangars (H platform) and look to the right (approximately in your 2 o clock position). News arrived today that the A400M has been cancelled from the flying programme due to engine gearbox proble...

Dutch transportfleet not to Melsbroek?

The Belgian Defense Minister denied that Dutch airplanes would be stationed at Melsbroek, according to Belgian newspaper De Morgen (link in Dutch). I'm really curious what is going to happen, now that the two governments contradict eachother. http://www.demorgen.be/dm/nl/5036/Wetstraat/article/detai...

Re: Le Bourget 20-23+24-26 June

Boeing reported that their aircraft will arrive this weekend.

BTW, is there any info on the parking positions for the aircraft that arrived already? I might take a quick look tonight.

Re: Le Bourget 20-23+24-26 June

But today was another attempt. If you look at http://www.solarimpulse.com/ then you can see that it's now slightly east of Disneyland Paris, so quite close.

Le Bourget 13 June 2011 - Canadian CH-148

This weekend the first participants for the Paris Air Show were trucked in. One item was a Sikorsky/PZL S-70 that carried no registration. The other, very interesting, item was this brand new CH-148 of the Canadian Armed Forces. http://www.niekvanderzande.nl/Images/CH148.jpg A nice catch, I must say.

Re: FOTO: opmerkelijke Italiaanse Tornado-plaat net na de start.

Zo bijzonder is het niet. Als je het verhaal leest dat ook op de desbetreffende pagina staat, dan zie je dat het heel normaal is. IK ben het er wel mee eens dat het maar net gaat om het juiste moment van afdrukken.
