Show HILLTOP TIMES 14 TIMES July 22, 2010 REVIEW From page 9 COL.ROBERT SUMINSBY/U.S. Air Force An Airbus A380 takes off to perform a demonstration for spectators July 19 during the Farnborough International Air Show in Farnborough, England. Farnborough International Air Show highlights service members and aircraft BY STAFF SGT. JERRY FLESHMAN 100th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs F ARNBOROUGH, England — One of the largest air shows in the world kicked off here July 19, and U.S. servicemembers are among 1,500 exhibitors from around the world showing off the latest in aviation technology. Approximately 70 U.S. military and support members from bases across the world are participating in the Farnborough Air Show. "We are delighted to be here," said Col. Robert Suminsby, the U.S. Air Forces Europe air boss for the air show. "The United Kingdom is a country that has a long tradition with incredible enthusiasm for aviation." Various models of U.S. mili- "We're proud of the technologies the United States is producing." COL ROBERT SUMINSBY, U.S. Air Forces Europe air boss for the air show tary aircraft are being shown as static displays and demonstrations, including the F/A-18F Super Hornet, F-16C Fighting Falcon, F-15E Strike Eagle, C130J Super Hercules, C-17 Globemaster III, RQ-7 Shadow, UH-1Y Venom and the MH-60 Seahawk. Aerial demonstrations include the F-16, F-18, C-130J and a flyover by the B-52 Stratofortress. One Airman expressed his excitement over another aircraft: the F-22 Raptor. "The F-22 is the most advanced fighter out right now," said Senior Airman Paul Hayward, assigned to the 148th Maintenance Equipment Squadron at Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England. The F-22 Raptor, along with more than 165 aircraft, is on display during the air show. "This is where the entire aviation world turns to see what the latest technologies are," said Suminsby. "We're proud of the technologies the United States is producing." ' —More than 285,000 trade and public visitors are expected to attend the bi-annual Farnborough Air Show. This year, 38 different countries are represented at 29 international pavilions. The air show will run July 19 through 25. works. On the other side of the world in Russia, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) watches his brilliant physicist father Anton die from a long, deteriorating disease. Anton Vanko created the arc reactor with Tony's father, Howard (John Slattery), but the two had their differences and Anton was deported in shame. With revenge in mind, Ivan, also a brilliant scientist, develops a similar arc reactor with specially designed whips that produce massive charges of electricity that can cut through anything. The two will meet in Monaco — Tony intends to drive his Grand Prix car through the city streets, and Ivan plans to cut him into pieces at his earliest convenience. Yikes! It's a great scene and it doesn't end there. Ivan will eventually get some hightech help from another weapons company headed up by Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), a rival of Stark's. Tony will get some help from S.H.I.E.L.D., a top-secret agency that apparently involves other superheroes a la the Avengers. Its leader, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), along with his superagents, have a much bigger presence in this film, leading to an "Avengers" movie just around the corner (May 2012). Unfortunately, it looks like Iron Man is taking a back seat IN HIS OWN MOVIE to Fury and friends. Other disappointments: too little suspense and buildup to the action scenes, the story line feels choppy, the fights are filmed in a way that seems to copy Michael Bay's dizzying style, Don Cheadle is too clever and funny to be used in such a sullen and sparing role, and the big finale battle scene is almost over before it starts. Other than that, I liked it. The effects are nicely upgraded, Rourke makes a great villain, Robert Downey Jr. is his usual charming self, Cheadle is better than Terrence Howard (who wanted too much money) and Jon Favreau gets more face time as Happy Hogan. So, I was content with "Iron Man 2." I went with low expectations, based on what I'd read, and it managed to exceed those, which is tough for any follow-up, especially one that comes on the heels of such a wildly successful original film.
