U.S. Pavilion organizer Kallman Worldwide is urging Paris Air Show visitors to “Ask America First” in its new marketing campaign launched here at Le Bourget this week. Show visitors will certainly have ample opportunity to view the full array of U.S. aerospace and defense capabilities at the Pavilion in Hall 3, since more than two-thirds of American companies at this year’s show–230 out of the 320 total–are represented there.
This morning at 10 a.m., a veritable A-list of top U.S. government officials is expected to participate in the official opening of the Pavilion, including transportation secretary Anthony Foxx and air force secretary Deborah Lee James. The roster will also include as many as 20 elected officials, including the governors of seven states and development agencies from 19 states. On Tuesday at 11:30 a.m., James will discuss U.S. Air Force requirements.
