Bölkow & Friends Meeting, Austria

Young and old meet up with their Messerschmitt Bölkow Blohm to spend a nice weekend together. Flieger Ratsch (Bavarian expression for “Flieger-Schnack” or “Flieger-Klonen”). A little fun competition, plus on one or two of the days flying excursions over the Danube valley and the Bavarian Forest, to the Starfighter Museum (Gerhard Neumann Museum in Niederalteich on the Danube), or to a nice swimming pool directly at one of the airfields – and afterwards a cozy get-together at the grill and around the campfire – all of this is what makes flying and the camaraderie that goes with it. Many will pitch their tents by their planes again and literally enjoy the night under the wing. And for those who find camping a little too rustic, they can move into one of the rooms in the surrounding guesthouses or hotels.

In the event of bad weather, the alternative date is the weekend after. Other historical aircraft are also welcome.
