ILA 2026

ILA Berlin 2026 once again transformed the skies over Berlin-Brandenburg into a spectacular stage for modern aviation. Although I explored the exhibition grounds during previous editions, I have been following the flying displays from outside the southern perimeter fence since I was no longer able to bring my professional camera equipment onto the show grounds during ILA 2024. This unique vantage point allows me to fully enjoy the aerial performances while focusing on what I am most passionate about today: aviation photography and videography.

This gallery showcases some of my favorite moments from ILA 2026, featuring impressive displays by the German Air Force Eurofighter, the German Tiger UHT, the French Tiger HAD, the rare appearance of the Leonardo AW249, and the impressive Bundeswehr Helicopter Parade. From powerful jet demonstrations to agile helicopter displays, these images capture the excitement, precision, and passion that make ILA one of Europe’s premier aerospace events. I hope you enjoy exploring this collection as much as I enjoyed creating it.
