Numerous ISTAT members again made the biennial journey to the Paris Air Show in June for a week filled with flight demonstrations, networking events and much more. Bert van Leeuwen, DVB Bank, documented the Air Show here, and Jetrader also took a look at the ISTAT Chalet — including a very special Charity Day for children and families from the Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital in Paris — and the ISTAT Reception. Thank you to all the ISTAT members and sponsors who helped make this year's Paris Air Show a resounding success. We hope to see you all at next year's Farnborough Airshow where ISTAT will again have numerous networking opportunities for members.
