Paris Le Bourget airshow 2013

[michel N]

It's not sure yet if it will do a fly by. The A-350 still has to make it's maiden flight. If all goes well, it might do a fly by. But it all depends on the first flight. So just wait and see what will happen.

The ATR will show the new ATR 72-600 at Le Bourget.
And the Beechcraft King Air 350ER will also present at Le Bourget.

Airbus has confirmed that the A380 & A400M are presented at the Paris Airshow.

A few questions please.

I gather there are quite a few arrivals on Saturday. Are there usually any on Sunday, too?
Is 03-21 usually the only runway in use at LBG?
Are there any photo spots for the Rwy 21 approach, reached either from Gonesse or from Bonneuil? Spot 7 in the Scramble guide is described as a 07-25 spot.
There are apparently some hills in the park near spot 10, do they make good spots for photos during the flight demonstrations?

Thanks

Peter

It is very difficult to predict arrivals, usually they gradually arrive from about 1 week prior to the first trade day. This is also due to the fact that some get completely "built in" at the static display.
The flying display always takes place at the 03-21.
Finding a spot at the 21 end would require a long walk in the fields (if even possible). However, most aircraft will perform a spectacular display (and so is their landing), so the chance that you can't shoot a picture of them landing is quite present. Next to that, it all obviously depends on the wind.
With regards to spot 10, this is turned into the car park during the airshow, so it might be difficult to get access.

Thanks Niek, that is quite useful.

With regards to spot 10, this is turned into the car park during the airshow, so it might be difficult to get access.

Last time I visited the Air Salon (2009), all cars were directed towards the parking at spot 10. After a few hours between the overcrowded public on the airfield, we went back to the parking. We spend the rest of the afternoon at our car. In fact, spot 10 was also crowded during the show. Almost all flying (public's left hand side part of the show) is above and around the parking area, and landings on 03 are very spectacular.

If you don't have any special things to see at static, I would recommend not to enter the show ground. One advice though, don't forget to buy a parking ticket before you leave the parking.

[gortje]

The list that tis published is not the final list.
Next days the list will be completed with more participants (flying and static).

Can somebody give me some information about spot 10?? I can't find any info about this spot at the airfield guide.
I've some questions about spot 10:

- How can i reach this spot
- Where can i park my car, and do you have to pay for parking costs??
- Is this an better spot to stay then get on the airfield??
- Do you need an stepladder at this spot??
- I realy like to see some pictures that are made from spot 10.

I've also read that there is an spot that you can reach from the "Rue Normandie Niemen".
This is also close to spot 10 but it must be outside of the fences at a small roundabout.
Is there somebody that have experiences with this spot??

Many thanks!!

The list that tis published is not the final list.

Do you know how much more will be added?

[Niek]

Spot 10 pictures.

[Harry_Imp]

Will the swifts/knights still be there?

[patrouilles]

Niek,

Spot 10 does not seem easy with the sun / light direction, or am I wrong on that point?

[gortje]

Hi,

I've just heard that we have to be patient with the final list.
Two years ago they have had 2 days before the show the last confirmations.
So we can expect some changes.
So, let's wait and let's see what happend the next weeks.
If there will be changes i will upload it here.

About spot 10, i also like to know how it is with the sun.
When you look straight into the sun from spot 10 i don't know if this is an good spot.
I never been there before so i hope to get some info from people that have visit this event before.

About the Russian Knights & Russian Swifts i've still not any information if they will come.
I've seen some lists where they were confirmed, but not on the site of the Paris Airshow.
Also we can only hope that they will come to Paris.
When i've more info about this demo teams from Russia i will let you know.
