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.

Another Couple Bands

Two more bands complete, making five of twelve!

Rolling Rafale

 A few barrel rolls and more loud moves from the Rafale.  It's pretty impressive when you see it in motion.

On The Other Side

Medallion in lower left done; time to start up the other side.

Dassault Rafale

 This is one noisy jet.  It can also fly in all kinds of weather, as it was one of the few planes to fly all three days of the public air show.  It did some pretty impressive stuff, and you can see, from the clouds, how nasty the weather was on that Friday.  At least it wasn't raining - yet.
