We went to the Radom Air Show at the end of August. It was hot; it was under resourced; and it was rainy. We ended up going for only one day out of the four - a choice on Sunday and an inability due to Andreas' work on Friday and Monday. We bought spotter's tickets - the best tickets available to the public and the ones photographers get. There was no shade; the meals were almost non-existent; and the place had nearly 200k people at it - meaning you couldn't really move about in the public areas to even buy a drink. Lines were over a hundred people deep. Plus, the air show itself was rather disorganized in the air.

Tools Of The Trade
Everyone from Mexico to Malaysia was represented in the pavilions - except the US. There wasn't a real US presence at the show. Part of it was the sequester, but private companies also closed up shop before the public days. The US had a pavilion all its own. Boeing and McDonnell Douglas and other contractors had their own small buildings. They were all shut up tight and taken down before the first member of the public walked through the gate. It wasn't a good way to represent or promote the US at all in a very important market. I, for one, was very disappointed.
As for the rest of this, the tools are used in aerospace and aeronautics to put everything together.
