The Horizon Beckons: A Milestone Meeting for AOPA Luxembourg
This Saturday, AOPA Luxembourg gathers at Parc Alvisse for an afternoon that bridges the golden history of our association with the cutting-edge future of flight.

We are proud to host Petz Bettendorf, an aviator who redefined the limits of long-distance travel by flying his Swiss-made Risen—a carbon-fiber marvel that runs on lead-free car fuel—across the sands of Saudi Arabia and the coastlines of Senegal. Beyond the adventure, this meeting marks a vital transition: as we honor Marco Felten for 14 years of extraordinary service with a rare Honorary Membership, we also look to the next generation of pilots to step into leadership roles and ensure our legacy since the 1950s continues to soar.

Don’t miss the stories, the tribute, and the reception. Your voice is needed to shape the future of General Aviation in Luxembourg.
