Paris has Le Bourget, London has Farnborough and Washington DC has ... well, AFA.
The annual convention of the Air Force Association starts tomorrow morning at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, located (appropriately?) about three blocks from the city zoo.
The US lacks a proper aerospace industry air show, but we do have AFA (and, to be fair, the NBAA annual convention, too).
I've finally managed to work out the trick of using Flickr to upload photos from my cell phone directly onto the blog in near real-time (thanks FlightBlogger!). I'll post the most interesting sights from the exhibit hall, as well as quick reports from press conferences, speeches, interviews, etc.
Coming fast upon four of the most momentous months in USAF history (SECAF/CSAF fired; new leadership appointed, including a non-fighter-jock CSAF; and, of course, the overturned, then cancelled, KC-X contract), this should be one of the more interesting AFA conventions in recent memory.
Also, check out my Twitter feed for updates as well!
