The unofficial and informal Vintage Aerobatic World Championships return to mainland Europe this August to one of the oldest aero clubs in Germany.
The three-day event will be held from 24 to 27 August at the airfield of St. Michaelisdonn (EXDM) near Hamburg. A 500m grass runway will be available adjacent to the regular 700m asphalt runway.
A statement from the organising club, Dithmarscher Luftsportverein, said, “For three days, aircraft that are well over 50 years old and pilots with the same or even greater life experience, show what their historic aircraft are capable of. And even if it’s a world championship with competitions, the focus is always on this beautiful vintage birds and having fun with flying.”
The championships are divided into three categories:
Flights are from Thursday to Saturday. Thursday is training day and serves as a safety briefing. Competition days are Friday and Saturday. An award dinner in the hangar for all active participants on Saturday evening forms the grand finale. Want to enter or fly in? Email [email protected]
