First Aerobat

 I made a list of every plane we saw, in order, while we were at the air show.  Unfortunately, Andreas can't find it.  So this set of pictures is of the first aerobat.  There were several of these, in different planes.  Mostly, they did exactly the same things, with vertical stalls being the favorite trick by far.

Liesel Begun

I started this year's group correspondence course for me - Liesel.  It's schwalm embroidery and normally done white on white.  Being me, I changed that.  The design is traced and I've started the knotted outlines.

A Little Behind

This version of the kogin sampler is going just slightly slower than the canvas one.  It's not due to anything but time worked on it.

Airbus A 380

 Because the Paris Air Show is a marketing show and not an entertainment show, you get a lot of commercial aircraft flying.  This is the Airbus A 380.  I had never seen such a large passenger plane deliberately climb into a stall before.  This one did it, with a very light load, impressively.

Up To Six

I've made it up to six bands (almost) done.  Back and forth, back and forth.

Ground View

 These are some shots at ground level from the stands at the Paris Air Show.  In order to experience it all, it'd be preferable to have two sets of eyes.
