The last few weeks have seen the A350 make rapid strides towards its first flight which it is said could now be this week.
If that happens it will be be a PR person's dream and big enough news to make the aircraft the star of the show even if it doesn't appear in the carbon fibre.
However..... could there just be a gleam in Toulouse eyes? Paris is not a long haul from Airbus' home. Just 364 miles as the OAG flies. Two hours max there and back maybe? If there were to be further successful flights over the weekend and into next week, could one, just possibly overfly the show?
It must be very tempting although more sanguine voices will be saying " Don't push it. Don't go there. Take it easy".
We shall see but we do understand how tempting it must look.
