TOUR ADVERT
Aero Friedrichshafen – Tue 26th April to Sun 1st May 2022
As a 6 day trip, we will spend 3.5 days visiting the popular Aero event held every year at Friedrichshafen. A large static as always is expected with around 200 aircraft in and the exhibition halls and this event usually attracts lots of visiting aircraft. Many of these visiting aircraft come and go each day so it is well worth spending time here each day with over 800 visitors noted during our 2017, 2018 & 2019 visits.
It is planned to fly to and met up at Basel in the late evening of Tuesday 26st April. Very early the next morning, we will drive to Bouchs/Stans, home of Pilatus Aircraft manufacturing, for an early morning look at the hangars and flightlines – this has been very successful in the past.
Continuing with Wednesday 27st April, we will drive to Friedrichshafen where we have apartments booked that are just 7 miles from the spotting points at Friedrichshafen airfield. Accommodation is hard to come by in the local area whilst this event is on, so this is a good location for us.
We will spend the remainder of Wednesday, all day Thursday 28th, all day Friday 29th and the morning of Saturday 30th at Friedrichshafen giving plenty of time to observe the arriving and departing Aero visitors or to take your time looking around the Aero exhibition halls. Each day we will also visit nearby Markdorf where more Aero visitors are to be found – we saw around 400 different aircraft here during each of our combined 2017, 2018 & 2019 visits.
Also to be visited is the excellent Dornier Museum also located at Friedrichshafen. If the group desires and is happy to be away from Friedrichshafen for a few hours, then it might be possible to also do the Fliegermuseum at Altenrhein.
Depending on what time the group is happy to leave Friedrichshafen on Saturday 30th and bearing in mind that we need to be back at Basel on Sunday 1st May for our flights home, we will have time to visit some Swiss airfields on the way back such as Radolfzell-Stahringen, Konstanz, Lommis, Speck, Beromunster, Zurich Airport & Birrfeld.
