Just a quick hello from Friedrichshafen, where Aero 2007 is just taking off (please excuse the pun).
Kate Sarsfield and I will be posting over the next two days with pictures of new aircraft and aircraft concepts displayed at the show. The events that we expect to happen are: The new Diamond DA50 Super Star will debut; the Eclipse 500 will be flying outside of North America for the first time, and I plan to post a video...so watch this space; 
the Grob SPn will fly at a public event for the first time since the fatal crash in November last year; 
and the Cirrus third generation (SR22 3G) will be displayed in Europe for the first time. The third generation SR22 is scheduled for certification in Europe next week, and plans to conduct a European tour to show off.
Aero Friedrichshafen seems to be very busy, but very well organized. Luckily the weather seems to be perfect, and I am sure that there will be a lot to see later today in the flying display.
There were certainly many light aircraft buzzing around yesterday evening as Ryanair attempted to land at Friedrichshafen. I experienced my first commercial go-around, which was supposedly due to there being a light aircraft in the 737-800s way.
