In a post Monday morning, Jon Ostrower from FlightBlogger shares a piece of cinematic history with two video clips from the 1950 Farnborough Airshow.
On display in 1950 were the predecessors to today's fighters, airliners, heavy transports and even tankers. Check out the second Farnborough 1950 video at the FlightBlogger website.
The U.S. DOD static aircraft area is always one of the most popular airshow destinations, and we now have a list of what aircraft we can expect to see parked in Farnborough:
USAF F-16C Fighting Falcon (Viper)
USAF F-15E Strike Eagle
USAF C-130J Hercules
USAF C-17 Globemaster III
USN F/A-18-E/F Super Hornet
USA RQ-7B Shadow Unmanned Aircraft System
USMC UH-1Y Iroquois
USN MH-60R Seahawk
This will be the first time either of the two helicopters will make an appearance at the DOD corral.
We can also expect to see flying demonstrations from the USAF F-22 Raptor and the USAF B-52 Stratofortress as well as the F-16, the F/A-18 and the C-130J.

The winning teams of both AIA’s Team America Rocketry Challenge and the UK Aerospace Youth Rocketry Challenge, the British version of TARC, journeyed to the Paris Air Show today, courtesy of Raytheon. The students’ highlight of the show was a visit to the U.S. Corral, where they interacted with the aircraft and air crews and watched the flying demonstrations.

Earlier Friday, they attended a press conference held by AIA, SBAC, GIFAS and Planete Sciences. The four organizations representing three nations pledged to work together to grow the rocketry competitions in their respective countries and foster international cooperation in inspiring the next generation of the aerospace workforce.
