The Paris Air Show (Salon International de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace, Paris-Le Bourget) is an international trade fair for the aerospace business. It is held at Le Bourget airport near Paris, France every odd year, alternating with the Farnborough International Exhibition and Flying Display. The next show will be held 13th June–19th June 2005.
The Paris Air Show is a commercial air show, organised by the French aerospace industry's body the Groupement des Industries Françaises Aéronautiques et Spatiales (GIFAS) whose main purpose is to demonstrate military and civilian aircraft to potential customers. It is one of the most prestigious in the world.

I would think if there was to be an entourage, it would be something akin to the Flying Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz.
I especially like the 15th - 17th pictures, titled "Airbus' Giant A380 flies over Le Bourget". Notice the prominent "A340" on the side of the plane in pic 17!
Now that's funny!!!
That poor dog doesn't want to have anything to do with that...
"Fly, my pretties! Fly!"
