The whole day there was good flying activity !

This old bird came by a couple of times:

The German armed forces performed a couple of airpower demo's, I do not have many pictures of this because I was also filming :wink:
Image

Image

Image

:oops: not very sharp but still a nice one I think ...
Image

Sadly the Croatian Wings of Storm PC9's did not perform :( I still do not no why ... But they where at the ILA , still very special !!! You do not see 6 Croation PC9's every day ...

Image

Image

Image


The Indian Sarang Team was also present and they performed there show! Not very spectacular but nice to see:

:toppie:
I like the NH90 pic! Large tanks on helos are cool.
Shame of the PC9's but at least you saw them.
BTW: no Russians???

C U L8er

Hoping for more pics, looks like there were many people present ;)

Sadly no Russians this day :evil: Maybe a political problem with Germany?

The NH90 looks very nice, but the Tiger helo was also a good performer!
It can do loops :?
Image

The 4 Druv helicopters of the Sarang Team where not the only Druv's at the ILA, there were also 2 army Druv's (1 performing!) and 1 civil (company helo). Including the spare Sarang Druv I saw 8 Indian Druv helicopters in one day !

Some other shots ...

That's all for today :roll:

Hope to see some airdemo shots from the Croatian Wings of Storm :wink:

Taking decent shots of the staticdisplay was pretty hard. The airdisplay made all up for that, because a lot of the staticdisplay could be photographed in the airdisplay. I liked the ILA very much, nice visitors en pretty good weather. Here are some of my results. Hope you like them.

Nice photo of the 2 B-1's Mike. Unfortunately I didn't have the mm's to do the same. How much mm's or what lens did you use for that one?

Thanks sfeyenoord and Marien!
@Marien, I used a simple 18-55 Canon lens. I took this picture by placing the camera on the ground, slightly pointing it up.
