ILA stands for ‘Internationale Luftfahrt Austellung’ (International Aviation Display) and is a one-week event held every two years. It was held from 27 May until 1 June 2008.

The ILA airshow is a nice mix of modern aircraft and veterans displays. Unfortunately the earlier anounced Tu-95 Bear did not show up and the visiting Rockwell B-1B bombers were only shown on the ground at the static display. Also the EADS Messerschmitt Me-109G did not participate during the public show because it groundlooped earlier that week and we only saw the Me-262 replica flying. The show was further very nice and very well organized with perfect weather!
