The International Paris Air Show is an international aviation and aerospace exhibition, which is organized every two years. It will take place for the fifty-second time on 7 days from Monday, June 19 to Sunday, June 25 in Le Bourget airport.

It is one of the oldest and largest air show in the world. During the show the newest technologies of the aerospace industry and related equipment, such as aircraft engines, satellite navigation technology, aircraft cabins and seats and weapons systems will be presented.

Over the years this show has become one of the most important international platforms in the industry. The first days of the fair are reserved exclusively for trade visitors, at the weekend the event will open its doors for the general public. About 150 aircrafts are presented. Many of them show their skills during the daily flying demonstrations in the afternoon which gives exhibitors the opportunity to demonstrate their technical expertise to the public.

Patrouille de France and Dassault Rafale are expected to the show, in according to sputniknews.com, also russian civilian and military aircraft will came to Paris.

"The Russian delegation will participate in the work of the 52nd international air show in Le Bourget and will showcase both civilian and military products," FSMTC spokesperson Maria Vorobyeva told Sputnik".

The team is currently planning to accommodate around 150 aircraft and for a 2 hour flying display.

Among those expected are the Mitsubishi Regional Jet and Kawasaki P-1, both making their debuts at a European trade show.

Other types expected include the Embraer KC-390 airlifter.

Organizers say they have yet to formally receive a reply from the U.S. Department of Defense about a possible Paris debut of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

Officials said they were also unlikely to see attendance of Russian-built military aircraft because of sanctions against Moscow, although a Sukhoi Superjet regional airliner is likely to be present.

Public day displays by the Patrouille de France, will be shortened by 10 min. and restricted only to the team’s formation flying.
Operation of the two southern runways at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport is halted while the display team performs.

Well, I am glad this time the lot from Paris at least announce
BEFOREHAND that some aircraft will not be there any more during the public days...

According to that list you will only see the
Antonov An-132D
all Bombardier pax jets (and prop)

Embraer KC390 military jet shoulder wing rear loading ramp transport
Lockheed C-130 L-100 civil
Pilatus prop aircraft
Sukhoi Superjet civil aircraft

during the trade days.

That is a lot of new aircraft that will depart from Le Bourget rather prematurely...

Does anyone have experience with photography from outside the airfield feasible during the show? Is ist feasible? Which runway is normally used?

Thanks

[Bruno]

Hi,

During the show, this is always 03-21 runway used.
And because of CDG airport, aircraft are always landing in 03.
Usually you can take pictures from outside in the car park close to 03.

Hi Bruno,

Thank you, that sounds pretty good. The Scramble map also shows a spot in the nearby park.

Not yet mentioned in the airshow calendar is the Compiegne Aero Classic on 17-18 May, which is quite nice in my opinion.

So I'm thinking of combining it with a visit to the Salon.
