I think it has priority as it is the sole German Air show in 2010 and for sure they do not want to say to the German folks: "Sorry no EC665 due to money where you paid taxes for". The situation isn't much changed since 2008 when three EC665 (at that time only three were oparational according to the crew) were flown from LeLuc to Tegel. It would also be a blamage for a trade show to disappoint future customers with the message: "we are having troubles so you can't buy what you want".
most likely a static of the Tiger and the WTD Tiger Solo dynamic (maybe integrated in some sort of "degraded" AirLand Op Demo?)
If u saw the Organisation and the personnel needed the last yrs, including the trng, I don´t think the AAvnSchool can handle it alone
(if they don´t want to sacrifice whole courses in Le Luc or Buckeburg), at least not for the Tiger.
Won´t sound too negative but AFAIK the Army isn´t flying PBL 002´s due to Flt Safety Problems (chafe marks at wiring), harsh cutdowns on FltHrs for all types due to money -
pls draw your own conclusion
so maybe they´re forced to let the pants down, let´s hope for the best show possible but don´t expect to much
A400M to make it first public appearance at ILA Berlin Air Show 2010
Visitors will be able to get an exclusive first glimpse of the A400M, the all-new airlifter for the 21st Century and Airbus Military’s latest development, at the ILA Berlin Air Show taking place at Schönefeld Airport from June 8th to 13th.
The airlifter, which is capable of performing short range tactical, longer range strategic and tanker missions, will be on static and flying display during the first two days of the airshow, leaving on the 10th June.
It will be just one part of a major contribution by Airbus, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary of ongoing innovations, to the ILA Berlin Air Show, From June 11th, the “new Queen of the Skies”, the A380, will take over. During the A380 flying display you will be able to experience the unique quietness of this all-new eco-efficient airliner – a true good neighbour for each and every airport.
Airbus and Airbus Military will be present at the EADS Chalet (17-23) to welcome guests.
Media will be welcomed in the EADS Press Chalet (24-25).
On the EADS stand (Hall 7), visitors can learn more about Airbus and Airbus Military products and innovations. They will find an interactive tool featuring all Airbus commercial aircraft family products including Airbus Military’s, as well as a cut-away model of the A320P2F (Passenger to Freighter conversion).
A full scale cross section of an A400M fuselage and a full scale mock-up of the A350 XWB’s cabin housing an audio-visual theatre showing Airbus’ latest innovations “shaping efficiency” are also on display. Airbus experts and specialists will be available to discuss innovations at the Forum on the stand.
Throughout the ILA week Airbus will be holding events designed to give students and recent graduates in an aerospace, engineering or an engineering-related business discipline the chance to discuss career opportunities at Airbus.
For the latest update on market trends, on Wednesday 9th June at 10:00, Airbus will hold a press conference starting at 10.00, in room A in the Press Centre, followed by an Airbus Military press briefing. Commercial announcements can be expected during the course of the week.
its first time, that i visit ILA. But im interested mainly in "f-displays", please, where is best place for spotting of flying displays ? Inside or outside of airport ?
Yesterday during the great visit of GRAS at Celle, the follwing was announced:
HFWS will send two Bo105 to ILA2010, their demo aircraft with German flag panels and their sole Bo105PAH1 (out of my head this is 87+59)
The Demo Bo105 will fly daily. These two Bo105 will fly friday to Berlin.
Beside that, due to a financial conflict,the Heeresflieger won't particpate in the large Bundeswehr Demo.
