A powerful take off !

The Sukhoi Su-35 took off at the 2013 Paris Airshow and was one of the stars of the show. At take off, you could literally feel the power within those two engines.

Night is Coming ...

At the 2013 Paris Airshow, on the first day, a storm hit the area around Le Bourget. At 10:40am, it was sunny, but we were told a huge storm would soon arrive. At 11am, daylight had gone ... at 11:10am, the storm broke out and heavy rain fell. Thankfully, there was no hail. Then, a few hours later, the clouds moved away and it was sunny again ... weird.
