Een van de bezoekende Dakota's van de Fly-In bij Aviodrome

Visit Swiss Dakota

16 and 17 august 2025

During this Fly-In the Swiss DC-3 Dakota N431HM will visit and you will spot Dakotas from the Aviodrome collection and enjoy special demonstrations.

Activities are subject to weather and any other unforeseen circumstances.

Unfortunately, several Dakotas that had registered for our event this weekend have had to cancel in recent days due to technical or personal circumstances. Given the positive response from the DC-3 operators, Aviodrome is exploring the possibility of organizing another Dakota event in September, around the commemorations of Market Garden.
