Air Days 2023 ELNT

To bring aviation to the public, on 15. and 17. July 2023 Luxembourg aviation associations invited to the Luxembourg Airdays, which took place at Noertrange Airfield. Weather was far from perfect. Wind and rain kept planes and visitors from coming on Saturday.

Sunday we caught up with visitors and flying. Many airplanes (also many ultralights) flew in. A Luxembourg Air Rescue helicopter and a helicopter from Heli Luxembourg showed up, as well. Aerobatics and Parachuting was on display. Food and drinks as well as many stands from our aviation organisations found the interest of many visitors. Of course, AOPA was there to inform on GA issues and for drinks and merchandise.

Big thanks to all our aviation friends who made this event happen!
