I was reminded of the wonderfulness of the Paris Air Show on my last day at Le Bourget Airport on June 20. My job at most shows that we cover is tied up with producing AIN’s daily issues, and for two or three days before the show until the night before our last issue is printed I’m head-down in the constant struggle to stay ahead of the relentless deadlines involved in producing a daily print magazine.

But after we’re done with the final issue, we have a day to enjoy the show and usually no pressing writing issues to worry about or deadlines looming.
