Hi I am considering visiting this years ILA airshow, but am not sure on how the schedule works. The airshow is similar to Farnborough in that it has trade and public days, in terms of the flying program do the public days include all of the planes that fly on the trade days or is there a significant difference. Also does anyone as yet have a provisional list of the flying participants???

The flying displays on the public days are much more elaborate than on the trade days. Moreover, many interesting participants in the static display don’t arrive until late Thursday or early Friday.
Friday is the best day; crowded but not so much as on Saturdays/Sundays. Be there early in any case!
A provisional list is due on the official homepage within the next few weeks. Patrouille Suisse will be there, but be aware that their display is somewhat toned down in comparison to what you will see them do elsewhere.
Flying displays may not be soo fluent as usual due to construction works and the need to fit the scheduled airliners in as well.

I went in 2006 on the Friday and the flying program IMHO was 10 times better then any Farn`b show i`ve seen, with a mix of modern,helicopters and loads of vintage aircraft,i am going for two days this year, it`s that good.
Good views of the flying can be had with many vantage points and the lay out for the static is also very good ,but on the public days just be aware there are thousands of people spread over a very large area.Great value for the cost to get in.
For more info just google ILA Berlin 2008.
Hope this helps
