at the event with the Beluga parked alongside the A380. Pos-
sible replacements for the German Tornado also had a spot
like the F-35. Disappointing to many the F-35 was not flying
during the show unlike the Tornados and Eurofighters that
were flying during ILA. The Kawasaki P-1 was another high-
light. A rare sight on any European air show the aircraft per-
formed an impressive dynamic display. Also attending the
show were several vintage aircraft, with the Il-2 Sturmovik
most probably being the highlight.
