Friedrichshafen - EDNY (Charts | Sceneries)
When picnicking on the shores of Lake Constance, be sure to keep an eye out above you for planes on short final to a renowned GA hub. Friedrichshafen Airport, with its 4 aprons, glider strip and capable runway lies within earshot of Zurich, offering a variety of flight options for the true aviation enthusiast. But don’t be fooled by the small planes and scenic approaches; with real-world commercial routes operating out of this breathtaking aerodrome, be sure to keep your eyes peeled and your charts handy.

Basel-Mulhouse - LFSB (Charts | Sceneries)
Though the term “minor” remains a stretch for this bustling destination, Basel combines the capacity and facilities of a European hub with the views and sights of a spectacular VFR must-see. Poised on the foot of the towering Jura, Basel and its charming Old Town has something for everyone, from the most ardent sightseer to the cargo pilot on a busy schedule – and with a tight apron and dense airspace, you’ll be kept on your toes.

St. Gallen Altenrhein – LSZR (Charts | Sceneries)
Short runway, dense arrival flow, intricate procedures and complex circlings – Altenrhein is an illustrative example of an airport built to stretch your skills. Most cannot resist the siren call of the gorgeous Alpine backdrop, but the imposing terrain and difficult environment are bound to test and excite those looking for a bit of a challenge. Leave your commercial jets in the hangar and dust off your GA skills at an airport that is sure to intimidate and impress in equal measure.

So do come and ring in the new year in Swiss airspace, where we look forward to welcoming you this Sunday 21st from 13:00z to 16:00z!
