Stars of the year air show: Air show of superlatives at Lake Constance Airport

When the top model airplane pilots gather at Lake Constance Airport, the sky above the fairgrounds becomes a stage. Once again this year, the “FMT Stars of the Year” will showcase the full range of the hobby, from impressive large-scale models to high-speed jet aerobatics and silent gliding at the highest level.

With his new Jak 55M, crowd favorite Gernot Bruckmann brings a true giant to the show. The key specs alone speak for themselves: a scale of 1:1.6 and an 800-cubic-centimeter engine displacement. He then proves that he can captivate audiences even without engine noise with the Habicht. With it, he performs glider aerobatics, executing every maneuver with pinpoint precision.

The Flippers Aerobatic Team brings together jets and propeller-driven aircraft in a single show. If you like things wild, don’t miss Luca Baumann. With his freestyle aerobatics and his Ares XL, he pushes the boundaries of model aviation to the limit.

The pilots of the F3K and F5J teams demonstrate that gliding is also a high-performance sport. They are among the most successful in their classes and are bringing the reigning European champions to Lake Constance. In addition to many other spectacular displays, leading manufacturers will also be taking their new models for 2027 up into the air for the first time. The stars will take off on all three days of the show, from Friday through Sunday.

The spectacular airshow program runs throughout the entire fair, from Friday through Sunday, from approximately 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and there is no separate admission fee!
