Today's Panthera presentation didn't go quite as planned....
The crew assembled at the Panthera Pavillion right on time, but instead of starting to talk about the new aircraft...
...they made a BIG surprise for Ivo Boscarol, Pipistrel CEO, who was celebrating his 55th birthday!
Tine made all the visitors stand up and sing "Happy Birthday" to Ivo!
The crew even "borrowed" some stewardesses off the airlines' expo booths, to bring Ivo his presents!

The preparations are in the full swing! The Pipistrel Booth is mostly finished, the aircraft are in their places and the crew is just adding some finishing touches!
Here are some photos depicting the morning atmosphere at the Pipistrel booth.
At first, the aircraft were still covered up for the night...

It's mid-morning at the booth and the aircraft are already waiting for the visitors in all their sparkling glory:
Some photos of the expo area:
Wait... where do these footpirnts lead to?!
And what sort of a beast could leave such a trail...?
Ladies and gentlemen.. it's the Panthera!
Placing the Panthera footprints...
You better watch out or Panthera will walk all over you!! :)
