Paris air show, France


Marine one

US-101, chosen to be the next marine one but now the project is reviewed and could be cancelled.

A380 take off

Airbus A380 made a public debut during the 2005 show. The low noise and short body gave me a impression that it is not that large of an aircraft.
I hate to think how long it would take after I make a boarding and then the plane to be pushed back.

During this show the test program allowed the plane to retract landing gears only on a straight, level flight.
Therefore, in order to save time during display, the whole demonstration was made with landing gear down.

In the near future, will all the airshows be filled with these radio controlled planes? I hate to think of that.
