Hiking

In the summer of 1932, the Laucha pilots organized the first public flying day. On this occasion, the first aircraft hangar built in-house was inaugurated. As a result, the airfield was further expanded. A Reich gliding school was established, in which pilots for the Luftwaffe were trained. lsv-laucha.de/verein/vereinsgeschichte
