Ah, early summer in Paris, when a young man's fancy turns to l'amour the thunder of military afterburning turbofan engines and the most sophisticated combat aircraft in the world. Sweden took delivery of it's first Eurocopter NH290 from NHIndustries and its consortium partners, Eurocopter, AgustaWestland and Stork Fokker.
The brand new F-35 also made a splash and earned rave reviews from test pilots as it prepares to enter full production with nine aircraft already on the assembly line.
Sadly, this will be my last post for awhile, as I will be traveling to Indianapolis for two months on an aviation work contract, so I will share some of the Paris airshow highlites with all of you, and wish everybody a SAFE and happy summer, and I will see you all again this fall. Enjoy!
You can find more here. I'll try to get back into something of a regualr military news and analysis format when I get back in September, so watch for more then. Thanks to everybody who has dropped by and for the prods, persuasion and occasional threats to start writing! See you all soon.
