My boyfriend is big into aerospace and had plans to go to the Paris Air Show. I hadn't been to an air show in about 10 years, and since this was supposed to be THE air show, I thought I'd tag along. Luckily, after hitting up on every connection I know in the industry, I manage to score free tickets for the two of us, and then some. Good thing, because I was a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong - the show is HUGE. There were tons of booths and displays from all walks of the industry. The disappointing part was the aerial show. The two that I remember from the U.S. had more interesting stunts and formation flying. These were mostly solo flights.
The highlight of my day was seeing Johnny, a.k.a. Mr. Travolta. I noticed a crowd of people gathering so naturally my nosy self had to go look. Then there comes this guy strutting along and posing in front of jets like he's a super model. I'm thinking... who the hell is this guy?? My eye sight is not so great. When he got closer, about 5 minutes later, I finally recognized him as John Travolta. By then I had missed some great photo ops but I continued to follow the crowd to play paparazzi and got couple of photos. I had this urge to yell out "I love you, Johnny!!", like the typical crazy American. However, seeing how reserved everyone else was, I thought I'd keep to myself. Besides, I wasn't ready to be escorted off of the premises just yet.
