The Ministry of Defense for the United Arab Emirates has called a press conference at the Dubai Air Show on Thursday at 3pm.
The timing of the event -- scheduled for the show's fifth day -- is unusually late for a major announcement and especially aggravating for, um, certain aerospace journalists who (blush) took the red-eye flight to London last night.
What the MOD plans to announce is a mystery, but it could be any number of big things. I departed the Dubai Air Show after waiting in vain for three days for a major contract signing. As of yesterday evening, negotiations were ongoing for several major contracts. The announcement could involve contract signings for the Dassault Rafale, Boeing C-17, Lockheed Martin C-130J, Raytheon airborne standoff radar or Alenia Aermacchi M346. It could also involve something that we don't know anything about yet.
