Aviation Weekend 2019
 
More aviation enthusiasts than ever met in the gym of TuS 1872 Schwanheim e.V., the local Sportsclub in Frankfurt-Schwanheim on November 2nd and 3rd, 2019. Chilly and wet autumn weather did not stop the participants to trade, buy, sell or even give away aviation collector items. Many visitors also found their way to Frankfurt to grub on more than 140 tables. Often enough bright-eyed faces found long desired aviation items to take home.
Frankfurts' Aviation Weekend is not only a trade fair. Most of the participants have the date blocked in their calendars for years ahead to meet with friends. Conversation topics during the meeting cover just about everything in aviation and often enough personal experience when travelling by plane or "in the business".
Postcards are one of the most popular collector and trader items. This encouraged us to announce a contest for "My favorite Airline". Voting was not easy and also included the creativeness of the explanation "why this is my favorite card".
Traders came from all European countries, the US & Canada. Visitors from all around the world were identified this year.
Our collector meeting has a tradition reaching back to 1986 and will continue in 2020. See you there. The venue is booked solid already.
Many thanks to all participants and visitors.
