24 The PCB Design Magazine • July 2017 doing maneuvers. A daily flight schedule is distributed, which tells you what planes are flying and when. Dave had the opportunity to see Lockheed Martin's fifth-generation F-35 fighter plane doing many maneuvers. There are also static displays of planes, rockets, tanks, etc. I had the opportunity to tour the latest Qatar Airways business suite and view the latest in luxury commercial flying. Japan's new Mitsubishi Regional Jet, or MRJ, which is considered the next-generation in re- gional jet, was present. Besides that, you also get to see some of the new fighter planes going through their maneuvers. Beaulieu: You have attended this show twice now. Is it your plan to keep attending in the future? Vardya: Yes, you know we are growing our aero- space business every year, so it behooves us to stay well-informed as to what is going on in that industry. It is also an opportunity to visit our European customers as well. Beaulieu: Are you doing much business in Eu- rope? Vardya: We are focused on growing our busi- ness both domestically and overseas. We have made great inroads in other parts of the world over the past few years. We are currently hiring independent sales reps and growing our sales coverage there. We are very optimistic about our future in Europe. Beaulieu: Sounds great. Once again, thanks for talking to me today, this has been very inter- esting. Now I only have one more question for you. Vardya: Okay, what's that? Beaulieu: Can you take me with you next year? PCBDESIGN THE INTERNATIONAL PARIS AIR SHOW WITH ASC'S ANAYA VARDYA
