Well, well another long week.
The intention behind the thread was to nurture interest in the displays both static and flying - sorry Mr Mod but making it a sticky, with your best intentions, it was inevitably going to become a Airbus vs Boeing thing.
From my point of view it is now clear that Farnborough is an Airshow with a bit of business associated and Paris is a great deal of business with a bit of flying thrown in for fun.
I know which I prefer.
