Special traffic arrangements planned for air show
Measures are being put in place to help thousands of visitors get to the RAF Cosford Air Show next Sunday. The organisers have said they expect a crowd of more than 50,000 people again, with many of them due to arrive by car and more by train. National Highways said it expected the M54 and the area around the show to be busy, and it would open the hard shoulder around junctions two and three to cope with the extra traffic. West Midlands Railway said it planned to put on extra trains to take people in and out of Cosford station. Highlights at the show this year include a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight along with aerial displays by the Typhoon, Chinook, Airbus A330 and a Great War Display team. The air show has advised people to allow extra time for their journey. National Highways said the relaxing of the restrictions on the M54 would mean traffic could use the hard shoulder adjacent to the westbound carriageway of the M54 from its junction with the entry slip road at junction two, to its junction with the exit slip road at junction three. This will be between 07:00 BST and 14:00 BST on 8 June. It said there would also be traffic management on the slip roads and around the roundabout at junction three to help keep traffic flowing during the event. West Midlands Railway advised the early morning services into Cosford and the ones leaving after 17:00 were likely to be busy and were often full. It said it would have queuing systems in place for passengers trying to get on trains at Cosford and Wolverhampton. Because of the one-way restrictions around the air show, it said taxis would be unable to drop off or pick up at the station. Follow BBC Shropshire on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.

Will Paris Air Show Signal Shift In Aerospace Trade? Analyst Flags EU Tariff Risks, Order Delays
On Friday, BOfA Securities analyst hosted Richard Aboulafia, a partner at AeroDynamic Advisory, to discuss expectations for the upcoming 2025 Paris Air Show. The analyst says that regarding news of potential 50% EU tariffs, Aboulafia warned that the Air Show could foreshadow how future international negotiations might unfold. The analyst notes that the EU might draw lessons from recent agreements in China and the Middle East, which mainly included aerospace and defense products.

Nancy Pelosi Invested $5 Million In An AI Company Last Year — Here's How You Can Invest In Multiple Pre-IPO AI Startups With Just $1,000. Nevertheless, the analyst writes that given the EU's own substantial aerospace and defense industry, which it aims to protect, U.S. aerospace and defense interests might become a point of contention rather than an incentive in these discussions. Regarding Boeing Company (NYSE:BA), Aboulafia views recent deals in the Middle East and China as setting a precedent for other nations' trade negotiations, suggesting orders will be held back as bargaining chips, noted the analyst. The analyst writes that, for both Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY) and Boeing, Aboulafia doesn't foresee many airlines placing large new orders, primarily due to a lack of new aircraft programs and existing backlogs exceeding 10 years for their most popular models. Further, the analyst noted that, as previously disclosed, Aboulafia doesn't anticipate any major new commercial aircraft program unveilings due to ongoing supply chain issues and global macroeconomic constraints. In the defense sector, Aboulafia expects numerous companies to compete for subsystem roles on programs like NGAD/the F-47 and CCA. Additionally, Aboulafia anticipates an outsized presence of unmanned aerial systems at the show, predicting a focus on lower-tech, expendable variants rather than highly sophisticated systems, says the analyst.

FourLeaf Air Show once stuns a massive crowd at Jones Beach
Nothing kicks off the summer on Long Island better than the annual Four-Leaf Air Show at Jones Beach. The weather held up on Sunday, the second day of the event, and a big crowd descended on the shore to watch the country's servicemembers in action. Many left in awe of the spectacle Carlos Cabrera of Queens calls it the best show on earth. "Life doesn't get any better than this," Cabrera said. "The fly-bys, the ones that catch you off-guard, things like that. That's what I live for." He said this year was his 12th FourLeaf Air Show, formerly known the Bethpage Air Show, now in its 21st year. It was Bay Shore resident Je'Sielle Jackson's first time seeing the air show, which featured not only aircrafts representing branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, but also the U.S. Army Parachute Team, also known as the Golden Knights. "It's cultural family reunion, like all cultures coming together," Jackson said. And getting a good front-row spot early in the day can get competitive. Those who told CBS News New York they came here to set up hours before the show's 10 a.m. start, said it was well worth it. "We got up at like 6 and got here at like 8, so we've been here for a while," Jackson said. "We got here at like 7 o'clock," Cabrera added. Veterans feel the love at the air show Veterans gave out flags at the boardwalk, reminding spectators of the significance of Memorial Day weekend. "Somebody told me, 'You're a hero.' Yeah, to the guys that made it back. What about the guys I didn't save? Just another soldier that did his job," Vietnam veteran Dominic Cutalo said. "I love how it brings us together, how it shows off the military. I couldn't do my job without the support of the community," veteran John Carvajal said. The show was also inspirational for 11-year-old newcomer Niko Pavlou of Queens, who wants to become a pilot. "I think it's really cool. Like, it's history, too, so you see these planes from a long time ago. Just amazed that they're flying today," Pavlou said.
