Great little airport
I was there as a visitor a couple years ago, it's the home of a DeHavilland Tiger Moth, a Broussard, and other interesting aircraft. In summer, parajumpers are getting their ride in a Pilatus Porter, this is the perfect airfield for it (grass runway) It's a real homey place, has very friendly staff and you can also get BBQ food there and just enjoy the activities from the garden restaurant. Has a webcam too, just Google for it. Comment by Herbthebird
