  • The show’s 100th anniversary was celebrated with flight demonstrations from about 30 classic aircraft, reminders of the years 1909 to 1960.
  • For the first time since 1975, a performance from the Patrouille de France which was granted authorisation to fly over Bourget on both Saturday and Sunday to celebrate the show’s centennial.

The show was opened by François Fillon, the French Prime Minister. The French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, paid a visit to the show on Saturday, and eleven government ministers attended during the week. Louis Le Portz, the show’s chief executive, said “Though the 100th Paris Air Show opened against the backdrop of the global economic crisis, it has been a particularly successful professional event and a very popular outing with the public. The Paris Air Show in Le Bourget has once again confirmed its position as the leading international air show“.
