French Aerobatic Team

 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.

Four Rows Done

I have four of the ten rows done.  It's kind of boring because it's the same stitch over and over and over again.

Airbus A 350 Sighting

 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.

A-Berrying

This week's work included adding some fencing on the left and starting some strawberries.  It's some easy to see progress, which makes me happy.

Air And Space

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.

Past Half

I have merely to add the medallion on the end to be done with this side of the row.  Yay!

Along The Jetway

 At Le Bourget, the planes that fly are parked along the walkway to the viewing stands.  This means you get to see them up close and personal, along with drones (surprise) and missles and helicopters.  As you can see from the pictures below, Israel was especially proud of its Iron Dome system.  You can also see that it was a very cloudy day- and this was the best day of the three.
