Top 20 airports / most visited airports / how many different airports have you landed at

I only have it for 2016

fly2000

A day is a lost day when one can not learn something new I just learned how to use Excel the proper way to count the number of airfields visited and to do the ranking. The magic function is called “Pivot Table” and does it all with no more than five mouse clicks. Number of airfields visited: 290 (+ the gliding site where I started flying gliders. I never entered those flights in my electronic logbook).

Do you bring your students personally to the theoretical exams at the LBA, or is this the bias for automotive supplier customers. ;-)

P19 EDFE EDVE EDDS

my top twenty: looks I am LKKU centric but more than half of LKKU landings are with Zlin Z-226 and rope attached ;-). Funny to see position 1 and ratio of night and day landings. LKTB is my secondary base.
my gliding and UL excluded as only on paper. With them total number of airports visited would be around 80, some of airport were DEP only so not in the list. Still way to go.

With lots of new people on EuroGA, it’s time to bump this thread

I can’t be bothered to type my logbook into a spreadsheet!

It wouldn’t be anything very impressive. As an educated guess I’d say the most frequent destinations were Le Touquet (LFAT), Duxford (EGSU) and perhaps Gloucestershire (EGBJ). Furthest away from home base (White Waltham, EGLM) would be Angouleme (LFBU).

Lately I have made a point of trying to go somewhere new whenever I fly. Last two have been Gamston (EGNE) and Cardiff (EGFF).

competition for all club members

How about a game of airfield Scrabble? Over one year, use the first letter of a visited airfield’s main name to get points, and add them up, e.g. Shoreham = S = 1 point; or Quiberon = Q = 10 points. Also, triple point bonuses for highest, lowest, farthest north/south etc, e.g. Courchevel = 3x 3 = 9. I can see an adjudicator will be needed as most airports are binomial City-Town, so does Midden-Zeeland count as an M or a Z?
