Hahnweide Old Timer Fly-In 2025: Classic Aircraft in a Storybook Setting
The long-awaited return of the Hahnweide Old Timer Fly-In 2025 delivered one of Europe’s most impressive vintage aviation gatherings, drawing more than 250 aircraft to the scenic gliding field near Stuttgart. Contributor Nigel Hitcham highlights the warbirds that stole the show—from the freshly restored Bf 109E making its public display debut to an impressive lineup of Mustangs, Corsairs, Spitfires, and even a Me 262. Despite mixed weather, the event offered superb flying, rare aircraft, and the unmistakable atmosphere that has made Hahnweide a beloved fixture in the historic aviation world.
