Every two years, warbird and historic aircraft owners from Europe and beyond come together for three days to celebrate aviation history and the acoustic and visual joy of old aircraft. For that, they assemble on a small airfield called “Hahnweide” just a few kilometers southeast of Stuttgart in Germany. These are some of my impressions from my visit there on September 3, 2011.
