1719 June 2005. These days, you probably wont have the chance to visit a cockpit in mid-flight during your plane journey. So for those aviation-fanatics who want to see the thousands of control buttons and other pieces of aircraft, the Paris air show is the chance to see it all. Held every two years at Le Bourget, its the worlds leading aerospace event. The salon is intended above all as a forum for trade professionals, but its open to the public for three whole days. Youll have the chance to admire stunning flying displays, discover the latest cutting-edge technology and get up close to the latest jumbo jets. According to the organizers, the new mammoth of the skies, the Airbus A380, will be there too.
