This year the ILA Berlin seems to attract some interesting visitors. According to an interview at Aerobuzz.de, Lockheed Martin will bring CH-53K, C-130J, F-35, and Kawasaki sends P-1, C-2.
That’s all for the moment.

Poor list of aircraft so far; standout being the P1 and static (likely) A4's. I guess the multiple Tornados and Typhoons will put on a flypast although not listed as flying yet? Shame, was thinking of doing a day trip this year.

Doesn't look too bad , 10 typhoons and looks like 6 NH90 on the list and a few tigers

I went two years ago and saw a similar number of German EF2000. In my limited experience it was not that good for photography - the flying was into the sun and much of the static was close together. But if you do civil as well then it is worth the trip plus Gatow museum is not far.

The website also has a flying programme for each day. Looks interesting if you’ll need some Bundeswehr aircraft. Like a special forces demo with 10 aircraft, flypast with 17. And more demo’s. All in all some nice quantities.

I'm sure two years ago you could buy trade day tickets when you arrive and they were around €55.

Perhaps they will have relocated to the Heath by then so that the German hoi polloi don't see what their Govt may be buying :Oops:

Only one thought comes to mind ,somebody should send this list to DBH. Show them what a proper air show looks like
