Nov 26th: Keflavik Fly-In

Yes we are still alive up here in Iceland and we want to invite all of you to come and enjoy an exciting event with full ATC coverage over Iceland and a fully staffed Keflavik International Airport (BIKF). Keflavik Airport was built by the US Army during WWII and was considered a valuable stop-over link between USA and Europe and during the Cold War its importance was at the highest. On September 30th 2006 the US Army pulled back all armed forces from the airport and officially handed it over to the Icelandic government. With this event we would like to pay our respects to the US soldiers that have defended our country for over 60 years, and at the same time celebrate that Keflavik Airport is now our own.

The event is on 26th November from 1800 - 2100 UTC
