Roskilde Airshow 2025

This weekend I visited Roskilde Airshow 2025, marking the 30th anniversary of Denmark’s top aviation event. The atmosphere was excited, with thousands of spectators gathered to witness an impressive lineup of aircraft and aerial performances.

Armed with my camera, I had the chance to photograph a range of military aircraft, including the F-16 Fighting Falcon, Eurofighter Typhoon, and JAS 39 Gripen. The show also featured several helicopters from the Danish Air Force and the German Luftwaffe, offering a close-up look at these powerful machines both in flight and on the ground.

It was a thrilling experience to be surrounded by the roar of jet engines and the showmanship of world-class pilots. Unfortunately, the audience at the airshow faced directly into the sun for most of the day, which made photography quite challenging. The aircraft—especially the jets—blazed past at full speed, often silhouetted against harsh backlighting. Despite the conditions, I managed to capture a series of shots I’m genuinely proud of. In this post, I’m sharing some of my personal favorites from the show.
