Art pilot Patric Leis: Spectacular stunt causes excitement!

Flugplatz Pottschütthöhe, 66954 Pirmasens, Deutschland - Patric Leis, chairman of the Aero-Club Pirmasens, causes a stir with its spectacular artificial flights. At the Pottschütthöhe airfield, he recently carried out an impressive double-decker flight, in which he apparently plunged into a column of smoke. Spectators were concerned and wondered if this was an accident. However, Leis calmed down the audience by explaining that this fall was just as intended. He has always seen his passion for synthetic flying as a kind of enforcement of his creativity, even if he noticed that he may be "a bit crazy".

The flight took place on a foggy day, which made the impressive performance even more exciting, as Rheinpfalz reported. Leis not only enjoys flying, but also promotes interest in aviation in the region.

History of the Aero Club Pirmasens

The Aero Club Pirmasens looks back on a moving story. The Pottschütthöhe airfield, on which Leis flies, was founded in thermally favored terrain. The first starts began as early as 1956, and the square was initially used by the Landstuhl air sports club, which concentrated on the gliding. Over the years, Pirmasens developed into an important performance center in gliding. Club life is characterized by an active membership that currently comprises over 280 members and is mainly based on the glider pilots.

The engine flight became more important in the 1960s and a motor flight school was created. Despite financial problems in the 1970s and the sale of the airfield, the association received a new thrust in 1980 by purchasing a Blanik glider aircraft. Public relations and the promotion of youth are the central concerns of the club, which also strengthens interest in aviation in the region through various events.
