Every 2 years in France an international air show takes place at "Le Bourget" 's airport.
This year was the 48th and was time to celebrate it's 100years.
For an anniversary that important, I must say I was a little bit disapointed; maybe I expected too much or I was demanding for more sensational planes to see.

Every pictures have been taken with a Nikon D70s+18-200mm lens with a polarizing filter on it.
As you may have seen on the pictures, the weather was not invited in the party... that's shame when you know the entire week was beautiful!
I was with a friend and his father, we laughed and drank to near death. ^^
Fortunately, you cannot see any of the beer we had during the show... I, this time, learned how to drink and shoot at the same time. ^^
Next time I'll try to upload some portraits...
