Hello EUROAVIAns! The Farnborough International Airshow has come to an end and I’m here to tell you everything about it.
25 of July
The first day was the arrivals day, harder said than done, due to the international delays and flight cancellations of the last week we had some problems, but nothing that a good beer in a traditional pub in Reading cannot resolve! We were able to meet in the evening to finally get to know each other and prepare for the next day.

Finally the big day, after months of waiting. We took a train from Reading to Farnborough and found ourselves in one of the biggest event I’ve ever seen. 4 enormous halls filled with companies presenting their ideas, their projects, from the most historical beauties to the super futuristic innovations. But the outside was even better, around the halls there was the biggest show of planes, helicopters, drones in the world with companies from all around the globe presenting all the amazing vehicles they built. And it’s not over yet, at 12 the flying exhibition started, we were able to witness some of those amazing planes, like the F-15, the Spitfire, the Air Force Typhoon, taking off and flying right above our head.
In the evening we went around the city for a bit and we tried a new pub to eat and have a drink all together before saying the last goodbyes.

It was already time to leave, we had our last breakfast and everyone went on their way home or to the next step of their holidays! See you all around Europe!
