I forgot the name of the French aerobatic team and Andreas lost the paper where I -wrote -all- the acts in the air show in order.... anyway, they were pretty good but no where near the level of the Thunderbirds.... of course, due to sequestration, all American military presence was canceled.
The first plane we saw aloft at the air show was the second flight of the Airbus A 350. It was huge, and the wings seemed to flex in the weather. Really beautiful to watch, though.
France's national air and space museum is at LeBourget, and these two rockets stand outside it. Even they were surrounded by aircraft on display. The large plane is an old Antonov from the Ukraine and the sleek black one is the new Russian fighter. Tomorrow, some pictures of flight.
