The 24th Salon International de l'Aeronautique held in June featured old-fashioned biplanes contrasting with the sleek tailfins of high-speed fighters. This is typical of the Salon's unique blend of serious trade show and old-time aviation country fair — parachute jumps (one with live radio commentary by the free-falling 'chutist), helicopter races and the “baptism of the air” (first airplane ride) for lucky ticket holders. Truly, it's the kind of show only the French could produce.
Compiled By Jessica A. Salerno April 16 — A Cessna 172S (N1835U) was substantially damaged when it hit terrain following a touch-and-go landing at Payson Airport (PAN), Payson, Ariz. The private pilot, the sole person on board, received minor injuries. It was VFR for the instructional flight and no flight plan had been filed.
