SPECIAL PREVIEW: Paris Air Show

Le Bourget will once again host the Paris Salon 15 to 21 June.  This year the air show celebrates the centenary of the first ever aero exhibition, at the Grand Palais by the Champs Elysées.  Whilst an Airbus A380 will be on display undoubtedly the most talked about aircraft will be one that is not there, and may not have even flown yet.  The Boeing 787.  Visitor turnout will probably be down but one can never accuse the aerospace industry of not looking to the future and there is sure to be an air of optimism.  From central Paris take the RER to Le Bourget local station.  There is a shuttle bus service, the alternative walk a good 20 minutes, and that before one gets into the showground.  From CDG it is the RER once again, a local (and very slow) bus, or one of plentiful taxis. www.paris-air-show.com
