ILA 2012 Berlin Schönefeld from the beginning to the end

[M.B.]

Have been on duty at this years ILA Trade Show at Berlin, again (first time in 2010). I'd like to show you some shots, which were made during the arrival, rehearsal and departure phase.
Hope you'll like them. I'm going to show 4 images at first:

1. MiG29 Fulcrum just minutes before dusk (not "photoshoped")


2./ 3. Fokker F27 Finnish AF which arrived as support for the two Hornets. We'd expected a Casa C295, but "luckily" this acft went technical after a few minutes of flying, so we got this beauty




4. The Turkish Stars arriving for their first ever Display at Germany, already in their new livery


I hope you like the first shots, and you're interested in seeing some more of them!

You've really wet my appetite for more, lovely crisp images!

[Niallxg]

Very nice, first one especially.

[JBartlett]

Nice shots and you can't beat the sound of those Rolls Royce Dart engines on the F27

I'd like to see some more please Didn't know the Finnish F27s were still in service!

[M.B.]

Yeah thought the same, but after having a very interesting talk to them it looks like, they still have 2x F27 in service. Unfortunately they didn't know, for how long they'll remain...........
Okay a few more for today. All were taken during the first 2 arrival days.
