ILA 2012

The ILA Berlin 2012 at SFX Schönefeld Airport was not only one of Europe’s premier aerospace trade fairs but also my very first opportunity to capture the event through my own lens. This gallery showcases unforgettable moments from that experience: powerful military jets like the Boeing F/A-18C Hornet, historic aircraft, thrilling flight displays by the Turkish Stars aerobatic team, and the unique atmosphere of the exhibition grounds featuring static displays such as the P-3 Orion and C-27 Spartan. For me, ILA 2012 was the beginning of a deep passion for aviation photography and videography, sparking a lasting fascination with the world of air shows. Looking back, it was the moment that ignited it all.
