Sure, they only cancelled it to publish it again...

[speedbird0330]

On the official website of Paris Airshow (http://www.paris-air-show.com/Essential ... fault.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) they have published the first list of participating aircraft. On this list from 5-5-2009:

US DOD (Department of Defense) C130J / HC130 / C2A / E2C Hawkeye / F15 Strike Eagle / F16 Fighting Falcon / F18Super Hornet / F22 Raptor

See ya,

They will for sure publish their star item has been cancelled, very wise... Noone would publish such news, because most people attending are not informed in such details. And the end of the F-22 system is already confirmed, so why should they bring a jet they do not want to sell during economic crisis to an European airshow?

WHY did they delete the participation on BOTH websites, where it was confirmed before? USAF is well known for cancelling confirmed displays...

Zeke on ASB :
"Yeah, a European trip looks doubtful for the F-22 this year."

Yeah
Boeing:
B777-346 ER

Historic Aircraft:
C-160 Transall

When this info is correct the T7 might be a JAL one (only one to use -346ER's) and how come the C160 is historic?

Adios,

Hurricane.

[skycruiser]

Yeah
Boeing:
B777-346 ER

When this info is correct the T7 might be a JAL one (only one to use -346ER's)

Not sure how far it is on the production line, but our next one will be msn 36128, to be registered JA741J.
It will feature the new First Class and Business Class product (already in service on the JFK and SFO routes).

btw, 6 years ago now, Boeing also brought a B777-346ER, in their special colours, which is now flying for JAL as well.
It eventually also visited AMS, for the official opening of runway 18R/36L, and was parked on the S-apron.

It will most probably not open to the public on Friday/Saturday and Sunday.

Speculation about the reasons why the F-22 is not showing up: http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/blogs/de ... d=blogDest" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

(the cost of bringing it over, the fact that it's not for sale anyway and possible espionage by the French)

funny remark in the forum on this thread...

By the by, espionage is not easy to avoid if the host nation's "customs" officials are allowed to poke into every nook and cranny of an aircraft for as many hours as they want. That's what happened with the F-117 at Paris and that's why the F-22 has not been to Paris before this year. That's not speculation. That's what the USAF says.

didn't know this , but would have loved to have been be there at that time A local Fwench civil servant demanding the USAF to open hatches of their top-secret stealth fighter.... lol
