This year’s Paris Air Show will take place from June 15 to 21 at Le Bourget Airport in the northeast suburbs of the French capital. At press time it was too early to say what aircraft will be there, according to the organizers, but what is certain is that the U.S. military–which did not take part in 2013’s event–will be back with “10 to 12 aircraft” (after some French sweet talking), and the Russians won’t be staying away. Neither nation’s forces are likely to be featured in the flying display. Even the JSF, which almost made it to last year’s Farnborough airshow, is not likely to make an appearance, although the Airbus A350, the Dassault Falcon 8X, Pakistan’s JF-17 fighter and the Bombardier CSeries are expected to attend.
