While there are no planes flying, they are playing draughts there.
A major international tournament is taking place in Le Bourget, a world-famous suburb of Paris, 12 km from the center. The number of participants has increased significantly compared to last year. The number of participating countries has also increased.
For reference: The Paris-Le Bourget International Aerospace Salon (French: Salon international de l’aéronautique et de l’espace de Paris-Le Bourget, or simply Le Bourget; French: Le Bourget) is one of the largest air shows in the world, held every two years at Le Bourget Airport (12 km northeast of Paris).
For the first time, an aircraft show was held in Paris in 1908, as part of the motor show. The following year, on September 25 — October 10, the French capital hosted the first specialized aircraft exhibition; 380 companies participated in it, which demonstrated achievements in the field of balloon, aircraft and engine design. The exhibition was a success, and it was decided to make it a regular event.
As always, Alexander Shvartsman is in great shape. He started the tournament very effectively and continues to lead, having already gone more than half the way. We are closely following the course of events.
