VAWC 2023 –
St. Michalisdonn Airfield August 24-27th.
Enjoy a romantic airfield west of Hamburg
Barely one hour northwest of Hamburg and located in the middle of the VAWC community.
St. Michaelisdonn Airfield comes along with an edgy facility to feel the spirit of vintage airmanship. A guesthouse/hotel with campsite directly connected to the airfield offers the possibility to pitch your tent directly next to your plane or live your dream… sleeping under your vintage wing. The airfield is the homebase of one of the oldest German aeroclubs, the Dithmarscher Luftsportverein e.V.. Since founded in 1950 comradeship is the highest value and the purpose of the club has always been to make flying be possible for everyone. St. Michaelisdonn Airfield offers a small restaurant, hangar space (not unlimited) and great flying possibilities for practice and competition. A grass runway will be available at VAWC, more info to follow. Look forward to enjoy an open airspace and/or no noise restrictions. Also, the area has several interesting attractions for non-flyers, and of course Hamburg is only 50 minutes away by car with unlimited offerings within culture, entertainment etc. Finally, the beaches of Büsum and St. Peter Ording is only 40-60 minutes, if weather is appealing.
Soon we will upload contact information, on our local team. Also information for concrete hotel options, and more fly-in information for pilots, and soon the website www.vintageaerobatic.com will be updated according to all VAWC 2023 elements, including KNOWN programs for the season etc.
We look forward to seeing you all at St. Michalisdonn Airfield August 24-27th.
