Image of the Week: FLANKER at Paris

FLANKER AT PARIS
The image above depicts a Sukhoi Su-27SMK demonstrator parked on the apron at Le Bourget for the 2005 Paris Airshow. This is illustrative of yet another interesting use for Google Earth 5's historical imagery feature: in many cases, significant events can be observed. A further look around Le Bourget on this date will reveal the static display aircraft and numerous historical Dassault products including the Mirage 4000.
