Le Bourget 2001.

This year was the ninth time we visited The Great Air show at Le Bourget, Paris, France.

We arrived at June 17th in the early afternoon, weather was not to bright, but there were plenty of blue spots in the sky to take some good shots.

This year the press is even more interested in the Le Bourget air show because of the rivalry between Boeing and Airbus is at it's peak.

At the press-day, we concentrated on the static show because from Sunday the general public is coming in, and it will be very hard to get free spaces to make the pics we want.

Sunday started with bad weather, and we thinking back to 1999 when the sky was blue and the weather was more than perfect. Lucky for us the weather picked up, and gave us the opportunity to work in dry circumstances.

Lets see what we got, not to many shocking stuff ( still no JSF or Raptor...) but interesting enough to make it all worth while.
