Before we consolidated all our updates here on the AOPA Luxembourg website, we maintained a separate blog to share stories, news, and reflections with the general aviation community. That blog is still online – and it’s full of memories worth revisiting.
The blog was active for quite some time and offers a snapshot of key moments in our journey. It captures not only practical updates but also the spirit of our shared adventures. Among the many highlights:
- The Georgia Fly-Out (2016): A historic journey where our members became the first organisation to complete a group flight from Luxembourg to Georgia, showcasing the possibilities of general aviation.
- The ‘Going Dutch’ Weekend (2017): A delightful fly-out to the Netherlands, including visits to Texel and Enschede/Twente, combining aviation with cultural experiences.
- Meeting with Lech Wałęsa: An unforgettable encounter with the former Polish president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, reflecting the intersection of aviation and history.
- Fly-Out to Champagne (2016): A scenic trip to La Ferté Alais, blending the love of flying with the appreciation of fine wine and camaraderie.
- Navigation Refresher Courses: Events aimed at enhancing pilot skills and confidence, particularly beneficial for those overcoming flying fears.
Whether it’s tales of ambitious cross-country flights, early safety campaigns, or simply photos of friends around a parked aircraft, the archive reflects the community behind AOPA Luxembourg, active since the 1950’s in Luxembourg
Though we now post all updates here, the old blog remains a living archive – perfect for anyone wanting to revisit cherished moments or discover what made those early years so special.
