The Hannoversche Aero-Club eV (HAEC), temporarily also simply Aero-Club or Aero-club called, is one of the oldest flying clubs in Germany.
history
At the beginning of the Weimar Republic , aviators deployed in World War I and other flight enthusiasts founded the Hanoverian Aviation Association (HVF) in 1921 . In the same year and the following year, 1922, the self-built glider " Vampyr " set various world records .
Also in the 1920s, the HVF organized several flight days in Hanover, during which balloon rides , parachute jumps and aerobatics were shown.
In 1927, the HVF merged with the Ring of Fliers under the new name Hannoverscher Aero-Club . This was transferred in the year of the seizure of power in 1933 and in the course of the synchronization in the German Air Sports Association , local group Hanover , which - also at the time of National Socialism - was absorbed in 1937 in the Nazi Air Corps .
In the post-war period , the Hannoversche Aero-Club was re-established as a registered association . By the end of the 1950s he had 3 gliders and 3 powered aircraft , which were used both in flight competitions and for training to become a glider and motor glider pilot. Later, more gliders followed - partly as self-made.
The Hannoversche Aero-Club operated an airfield in the north of the Hanover district of Vahrenwald until 1976 , before another area was determined in Oppershausen in the district of Celle .
The association also promotes model flying , among other things .
