Photo of the Day (6.16.09)
Today's Photo of the Day is relevant for several reasons. The shot of the tarmac on the way to Paris was taken by Kent Wien, our resident pilot who is actually currently on layover in the middle of a BOS-CDG-BOS turn.
This week is also the week of the 45th Paris Air Show, the massive biannual event that brings thousands of suppliers, manufacturers and press to Le Bourget for updates on all of the new technology. It's the biggest air show in the world, and both Kent and Grant will running around collecting data for Gadling. Stay tuned later this week for updates from the show.
Oh, and if you've got any cool photos that you'd like to share with the world, add them to the Gadling Pool on Flickr and it might be chosen as our Photo of the Day. Make sure you save them under Creative Commons though, otherwise we can't use them!

I just spent two days in Roissy, France while my spouse attended the air show. Air show is somewhat a misnomer, since it's really a trade show. Not the type of air show we think of with the Thunderbirds, etc, flying around. Things were pretty slow on the sales end of things. My husband deals with defense contractors in his line of work, and they really didn't expect too much in the way of sales this year. (and they were correct in that assumption according the the reports out of le Bourget). We stayed in the cute town of Roissy, right outside of CDG. I enjoyed Farnborough better. I think everyone is looking towards Dubai in November!
