Bückermeet AirThun 2018

Up to 4000 people have visited the little airfield at the beginning of the famous Berner Oberland area - after an very sunny, very long and hot summer unfortunally with not so nice weather at 12° Celsius. But the colorful aircrafts and the good organisation allowed some nice impressions and we all hope to see this event in the future again.
