25. – 26. April 2020
Rookie-Meeting at

MFC Hofheim

Unfortunately, after the rookie meeting in 2019,
the Sportfliegerklub Darmstadt informed me that
they are no longer able to hold the rookie meeting
for the 400 Euro contribution I paid to the club.
The amount of work is in no relation to the profit.
On enquiries I learned that the club had received
an additional 800 Euro for each rookie meeting
without my knowledge from Marc Fröhn, which
are now obviously missing. It has to be said that I
bring the whole organisation with me and the
club is allowed to keep the proceeds of the food sales in addition to the 400 Euros. From the participation fees the hotel rooms
for the flight instructors and a small travel allowance are paid. For this the flight instructors provide their models and partly also
their own kerosene.
Since I refused to increase the participation fees and I can only distribute the money I earn, that was it. Marc Petrac came to my as-
sistance in the search for a new club. He put me in touch with Markus Ammon from MFC Hofheim. Our first contact was a complete
success for me. The club is looking forward to hosting the 22nd Rookie Meeting. This will take place on 25 and 26 April 2020 at the
Aeroclub Bad Königshofen (www.amhimmelreich.com). The internet address is program, because the infrastructure is unique. Thanks
to the large clubhouse we will celebrate our rookie party on Saturday evening at the airfield. Camping is also no problem on site, be-
cause showers and toilets are available. Oh yes, also the 400 Euro for the club were ok without any demand. So we are looking forward
to our new hosts, the Aeroclub Bad Königshofen.
Registrations for the 22nd Rookie Meeting are now possible by e-mail at w.ohlgart@t-online.de. We need the address with telepho-
ne, the transmitter mode and the information which transmitter you use.

23. and 24. Mai 2020
Faszination Luftsport at the Siegerland airport

On the weekend of 23 to 24 May 2020 Siegerland Airport will be closed for one of the largest air shows with originals and model
aircraft in Europe. There we will be presenting a selection of the best model pilots in Germany with their models of the Mustang, Fw
190, AT-6, Bo 105, Extra 300 and other highlights from the world of large-scale aviation. Every hour the programme changes bet-
ween the originals and the models, with a cross-section of the history of aviation being presented in model flight. Wolfgang Klühr is
primarily responsible for the model selection, who will personally invite the pilots. Winfried Ohlgart is planning the programme with
him and will comment on the event together with Josef Voss. Everyone who is interested in flying should keep this date in mind.
