Aviation Tour - Maps on www.bankleft.com

The second largest GA (General Aviation - non commercial transport or military aviation) airport in Germany, Bonn Hangelar is a picture of a modern, busy but efficient operation. The federal police helicopters and ADAC (German RACV/AA) rescue helicopters are based here along with 12 flying clubs, so there is a constant flurry of turbine helicopers, piston training helicopters, gliders, gyrocopters, the odd small jet, many modern German mcrolights, two home built Lancairs and hanger upon hanger of other interesting aircraft. Oh yes, also one Jabiru with a yellow tent under the wing ;)

We were met and welcomed by many wonderful characters who enrich the brotherhood of aviation. Thank you Juergen, Cristian, Dirk, Norbert, Heiko, Franz and Kathrin for making our visit to your part of the world so special and memorable.

Hanglar's runway can be seen in front of our wing below. To minimise disruption to surrounding houses, we all fly over the golf course on the climb out;
