Værløse Air Base – Big Flying Day 14th August 2016

by Natalie Kjaergaard

We looked so much forward to this day! http://storeflyvedag.dk/ Several aircraft from Albatros – our flying club http://albatros-ul.dk/– were going,  and some of them were also going to participate in the airshow.

A big and pleasant surprise awaited me – Anne, a friend of mine from the island of Funen (Fyn), came to the event in her Savannah! And she brought flowers for me from her garden! I was overwhelmed with joy – ladies will understand my feelings 🙂

Pleasant welcome - flowers from Anne

Many different aircraft were at the show. Duo Discus on the photo below from Frederikssund flying club http://www.f-f-f.dk/. These guys did a lot to promote glider sport – free t-shirts for pilots, flyers, brochures, etc.

Bjarne and Lennart did a very nice and daring programme. Unfortunately none of us watching had a camera suitable for recording of this special moment, but we were very proud of being their friends 🙂
