The Paris Air Show is so steeped in history that even its location is sacred ground.
The show is held every two years at Paris-Le Bourget Airport, where Charles Lindbergh completed the first-ever solo flight between New York and Paris in 1927. Since 1909, the Paris Air Show has been a world stage for exciting aviation innovation, including improvements in commercial aviation.
