JÄMI FLY IN INTRODUCTION

At Jämijärvi airfield the traditional Jämi fly in is going to be held on 9th – 11th July 2010.

The beginning for this annual event has come from experimental-days where builders used to award “the builder of the year”. Since that the event has grown bigger and more versatile whole family happening.

In 2010, it has been 75 years since Jämi airfield was established and first air show organized. This event will be celebrated 10.-11.7.2010 with Jämi 75 yr. anniversary air show.

In 2009 the program was experimental days, in addition to air shows on both days, and RC-freestyle and the Finnish jet-open model airplane competitions.Over the weekend, we celebrated the 90-year-old the Finnish Aeronautical Association (FAA). During weekend there were 149 aircrafts or a-like which was record so far. Air show took part in as many as 58 different performers; the youngest and oldest participant's age difference was no fewer than than 81 years. There were more spectators in air show than inhabitants in municipality. Experimental “Builder of the year 2009” award was given to Kaarlo “Kalle” Rajala with Golden Hawk F172H OH-CGI.

In 2008 the builders of experimental planes were awarded again and aeronautical exhibition was held at Jämi Areena which was also extended outside. And to prevent doing everything like last year, the main air show of the Finnish Aeronautical Association was held at same time which introduced among leisure aviation also planes from the Finnish Air Force. Jarmo Hakala won “the builder of the year” award with PIK-25 “Varttimarkka” (“Quarter of buck”).

In 2007 the whole weekend was reserved for the event. Not just Jämijärvi runways were available but also emergency landing place at highway 23. 97 operations were made from there with 45 different planes. The Finland’s biggest flying museum Douglas DC-3 from Helsinki visited there as well. Totally about 9000 people were counted and 120 different aircrafts were present during the weekend. Bad weather at north and east reduced number of arriving planes. “The builder of the year” award went to Raimo Toivio who built Europa XS Monowheel.
