re: Great little airport with plenty of action

Reply to @Herbthebird: The AN-2 is NOT the largest biplane ever produced. Look at the HP42 for just one counter-example, or the Vickers Vimy for another. I agree, though, that Grenchen is a very nice airfield; only a bit on the expensive side, like everything in Switzerland.

Great little airport with plenty of action

Grenchen Airport is perfect for learning to fly, has hard surface and grass runway 07 / 25.

There are many nice special events, like the helicopter-weekend, and the modelaircraft show, besides parajumping and glider activities.

Or, take a scenic ride in a vintage Antonov AN-2, the largest biplane ever produced (which is stationed there) to the beautiful swiss alps and back, always a wonderful experience. Space for up to 12 passengers, flown by two pilots. See: http://www.avschweiz.ch/

The airport also has a Best Western Hotel & restaurant.
