An Afternoon At Le Bourget

[SkyPup]

Paris layover yesterday, so I hopped the train to Le Bourget for the Paris air show.  Only had a few hours to gawk, but it was nice aero-porn!  Weather was marginal....cool and windy with low ceilings, which limited the acro routines.  Still cool as hell, though.  

 

Got a short vid of the A400M transport showing off.  I've never seen a large transport airplane in a vertical bank:

 

 

 Sepecat Jaguar

Phallic symbols abounded...

Yup, she's a DC-3

'Stang!

An aging 747

It eats little kids for breakfast
