The conceptual centerpiece of E's high school graduation trip: the 55th biennial Paris Air Show. Because we simply have not seen enough planes over the last couple of weeks.

The Patrouille Acrobatique de France (like the French Blue Angels or Thunderbirds) doing their air ballet thing in Alpha Jets:
Super impressive A400, which in flight did maneuvers no cargo plane should be doing:
A Dassault Rafale fighter jet, painted in the French tricolore:

My dad loved airplanes. We saw a variety of air shows in California. I suspect this one was much more spectacular!
