Come and learn about present-day activity at Hyvinkää airfield.
Hyvinkää airfield was built after the Winter War in 1940 as an Air Force base. Aero Oy (Finnair’s predecessor) operated in Hyvinkää for two years, 1945–47. After that the field has been used for civil aviation, developing into today’s versatile aviation centre. The most recent operator at the airfield is Helitech Oy, whose new workshop facilities were completed in May.
You can get a good sense of the airfield’s history at the exhibition in the Taika hall of the Hyvinkää town museum: “Tie taivaan sineen” (“The road to the blue sky”) – Hyvinkää airfield 1940–2022. The exhibition is open until 6 January 2023.
This fascinating history continues in modern aviation. Local aviators, together with the Hyvinkää town museum, will present flying activities at Hyvinkää airfield this coming weekend. Aviation is developing towards more environmentally friendly and safer technology — several electric-powered aircraft are already in use in Finland. And you can come and discuss what the future may bring with local Hyvinkää pilots.
The aviation day is organised by: Gliding – Hyvinkää Ilmailukerho Motor flying – Jukolan Pilotit SAR / fire-flying operations – Jukolan Pilotit Gyrocopter flying – Gyrokopterilentäjät DIY aircraft building – Renegade biplane / Markku Niskanen
Come and see modern everyday aviation!
