Experience flying fascination up close
Those who want to experience flying not just from afar but up close can get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at aviation here. Motor flying, gliding, and model flying will be presented together, along with flight simulators, craft stations, and a Q&A course for children and teenagers, as well as the chance to join a flight if available. This creates a special event atmosphere filled with enthusiasm for technology, family joy, and genuine audience energy.

Anniversary, airport history, and strong club culture
The Bayreuth Aviation Sports Community is much more than just a club for leisure flying: on its website, it describes itself as a sports club for gliding, motor flying, and model flying, with experience in training, competitive sports, and organizing large competitions. The club's history includes events such as the gliding world championship in 1999, the 1st Gliding Bundesliga, and many years of training work at the airport. The location itself has a history dating back to 1925, according to the City of Bayreuth, and has been developed over decades.

Participate, marvel, and rediscover the airport
Especially impressive: visitors can experience the flight operations up close, participate in a winch launch with a glider, or enjoy the perspective from above in a motorized aircraft. A historic MiG 21 will also be explained, along with classic aircraft, operational topics from the air rescue squad, and conversations with the crew of the rescue helicopter Christoph 20, as far as available. This makes the event a mix of exhibition, sightseeing, and aviation history experience.
