Germany in general, and perhaps Bavaria in particular, is riddled with little towns that are a delight to visit. Rothenburg ob der Tauber, west-southwest of Nuremberg, is one of them. The airfield offers 950 of tarmac runway. It's narrow, so it may...

Strasbourg is a major French town, and reportedly only Paris and Mont StMichel get more visitors each year. The fact that a large part of the EU spends a sizeable amount of time here adds to that. There's an airport, of course, but for GA one should...

Who would have thought there are airfields at 1,900 feet MSL in Belgium? Well, there are. And EBSH is one of them.

St Hubert is a center for gliders in the Ardennes. It has two sets of runways: 14/32 (800 meters) and 05/23 (600 meters). All of...

Bremen is an old Hanseatic town (like Hamburg, Lübeck, Gdansk, Visby and Tallinn) with a nice historic center straddling the river Weser. We chose the main airport, EDDW, for a visit in July 2016. The VFR approach for runway 27 (most commonly used)...

Aeroe, or "Ærø" with Danish characters, is a small island south of Denmark's second largest island, Fyn. The airfield is around 4 km from the largest town/village, Marstal. One can rent bikes at the airfield.

Fantastic location on end of spit of land. Great approach over the sea. Good place for a weekend break but judging by the number of tourists I would suggest booking accommodation before going.
Be warned that you cannot buy fuel with cash or cc. You...

One of those deserted and huge French airports. A great destination for Normandy in general and the D-Day beaches in particular. There is a touching memorial to the Canadian forces that finally captured the airfield itself just outside the fence by...

What a lovely little airfield.

Ferried a PA28 down there yesterday for a repaint (OK I didn't ferry the PA28 I was the taxi home), friendly folk (park up this side by the restaurant and we will drive over to bring the other pilot back here),...

Down here at the moment after a relatively uneventful Monday flight down from Popham. It got a bit busy around LND with schedule traffic and other GA inbound to Lands End. After that we flew the Northern fixed wing corridor at 2000 ft from LND to St...

We used Nancy-Essey as a relief stop, and to file a flightplan before entering Germany. A quiet regional airfield (at least at 1800 on a Friday evening) typical of France with 1400m of hard runway aligned 03/21 with a 550m grass runway alongside....

Here are some ideas:

I have put lines of dots showing where you can walk from the airport.

The ones to the right, over the bridge, take you to the High Street where there are some restaurants.

A trip today into Cranfield as a bit of business to do on the airfield. , I thought the landing fee a touch expensive! A 172 to include 2 hrs parking £37.50!!! A nice airfield and I dont mind paying a reasonable fee to use the facilities and support...

Beautifully kept 620m strip SW of Torquay and Berry Head.
Min P1 time 100hrs, no students or training. Landing Fee £15.
Tea, cake and "facilities" at East Soar Farm about 5 min walk away, also Overbecks, a NT house close by.

Wonderful spot out on the Gower Pennisula. Two hard runways, 22/04 and 10/28. Both are well surfaced but undulate a bit and the intersection between 10 and 04 is dog rough and has a tendency to act as a ski jump ;-)

There's a parachuting club who...

Conington is around 5 miles south of Peterborough, sandwiched between the A1 and the East Coast railway line, so easy to find!

Old Sarum - what a pleasant place, with friendly staff to match. I was there yesterday when a test (on me) was switched there (for reasons I won't go into) at the last moment, and so many people on the OSFS staff side went out of their way to make...

The airfield is located just east of Berlin. The S-Bahn (local train) station is ten minutes walk and it takes you to Berlin in about an hour. The runway is concrete and there is also a grass strip for gliders. It is relatively easy to find from the...

Fuel stop to make a change from Le Mans on the way back from Bordeaux. Efficient is the most I'd say about it.

Flensburg is located a stones throw from the Danish border about 40 miles NW of Kiel.

Possibly a bit out of reach for most UK pilots, this charming airfield is in western Poland. The initial idea with our visit was as a fuel stop on route to Hungary, but due to weather we stayed the night and then diverted to the northeast. We did...

Major single runway airport SW of Strasbourg.

Two aeroclubs on site - usual Robins and a Twin Star on the GA Apron - but I think its mandatory handling for visitors. I ended up there on a weekend diversion, and acted as light relief for the fueller...

What a great place. :)

A part tarmac / part grass (60:40ish) runway with a 2.5% slope, with quarries at both ends it might seem daunting on paper, but it shouldn't put you off.

Thoroughly friendly and helpful locals, with a great sense of humour....
