Paris Le Bourget Airshow 2011 - in the clouds

The Eurocopter X3 doing a display at Le Bourget
Even though it was raining off and on most of the day, they managed to get the air displays done and this was the best of the lot. The Eurocopter X3 doing its thing - lots of fun.
It is a helicopter but one that displays well. Mind you, as we all know, French display pilots are chosen because they are even madder than 'normal' French pilots!! Before I get something horrible in my onion soup it was a joke... really...

X3

  1. I suppose that X3 is the little brother of Dauphin, minus the rockets, correct? They are just so perfect for air shows. Exquisitely gorgeous piece of aerospace hardware!
