Flugplatzkerb in Gelnhausen: Family celebration with spectacular highlights!
The anticipation for the 51st airfield notch in Gelnhausen is great! From June 14th to 16th, 2025, visitors can expect a colorful spectacle that will delight not only the aviation enthusiasts among us. The reason for the big event is the 75th anniversary of the local club, which offers a varied program. How East Hesse News reported, there are various highlights on the agenda on all three days.
What is there to see? During the day, air shows with spectacular aerobatic flights of historic and modern aircraft provide excitement. The aircraft will not only boast breathtaking turns and smoke signals, but exciting exhibitions on the history of the club and aviation will also demonstrate the appeal of the event.
Music and entertainment for the whole family
Another highlight will be the opening on Friday evening with the band Shake, who will set the mood with rock classics, ballads and current chart hits. But the little guests are also well catered for: bouncy castles, carousels and a bungee trampoline are waiting to be conquered. And anyone interested in classic cars will also get their money's worth in the appropriate exhibition.
Numerous stands offering a wide range of food and drinks ensure your physical well-being. You should definitely mark Saturday evening from 10 p.m. on your calendar: the fascinating balloon glow will transform the night into a magical light show, coordinated by an experienced balloon master.
A special commitment on site
A very special highlight will be the presence of the 501st Legion, the world's largest Star Wars costume club. These dedicated members will be on site on Saturday supporting charitable causes such as Website of the airport notch reveals. With their motto “Bad boys do good,” they support, among other things, the Hanau Outpatient Children and Youth Hospice Service. At 6 p.m., a Stormtrooper helmet signed by pilots will be auctioned off to benefit this important institution.
The proceeds from this auction go directly to the hospice service, which supports families in difficult times and offers help. This shows that fun and responsibility can go hand in hand.
Practical information for visitors
Parking at the airport is limited, so walking is recommended. Particular caution is advised as the West and Rothenbergen exits may have restricted use. The organizers ask all visitors for their understanding and plan to ensure a pleasant journey.
For further information about the event, please visit the website Association for the preservation of sites of German aviation history that not only underlines the beauty of aviation, but also wants to honor its history. Let's look forward to a fantastic weekend full of experiences that will delight young and old alike!
