Thanks to a persistent and diplomatic approach an agreement was finally reached with the owners of the ground where the grove at threshold 32 is located.

The challenge now for landing aircrafts will be to avoid coming in too low in order not to be a nuisance for people living there. Beware of that!

Remember Judith Wordsworth? She visited Siljan Airpark when writing her thesis for her MSc on Sustainable rural development (SRD) implications of Residential Airparks as part of her field studies and data collection back in 2011. Now she has been participating in the FAI World Air Rally Championship in Portugal and wrote an interesting and very informative blog about her experiences as one of the two british representatives in a Cessna 172.

Today August 15th it looks like this from the Rollvägen/Vindmyrvägen corner... ...and from the Vindmyrevägen/Rodervägen corner After many years' of plans and discussions our common "swamp" is finally being drained and levelled partly thanks to good timing and negotiations and partly to a generous donator.

Celebration Around 50 air-parkers and local flying club members chose to spend their Saturday evening on the 23rd of July celebrating the 10th anniversary of the asphalt runway – a mile stone, indeed. 5:30 the threshold of RWY 32 was crammed with people cheering with Champaign and congratulating each other to this day. Carl Rönn presented briefly the story behind the asphalt runway and the shovel manufactured by Toffe and used for cutting the first turf was on display. Rune showered the guests with Champaign from the LS4 and René in his RVG congratulated the runway with breathtaking...
