The one and only ;D
In that case:
I've been there the last two episodes, and found that last month it looked a lot like the one a year before. So I more or less decided to skip next year. But hey, if you guys are coming, I am tempted to go again :)
Dunno if you plan to take a (cheap) flight to Schiphol, but if so: it's on my route to Lelystad ... ;)
I'd be happy to pick you up (max. 3 pax in my Suzuki Swift ;)) on my way over there. PM (or mail) me if you are interested.

Digging this topic back up again, since it is about to take place now:
Contrary to what I stated before, I'm sorry to inform you all that I will not be attending the FS weekend this year.
Our old caravan has just been removed, and we'll be getting a new one the week before that weekend. So we'll be putting up new fencing during the FS weekend (and a ton of other things to do, since we'll be starting from scratch again ...). And that just has a slightly higher priority for me at this time.
EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
It looks like this has been the last episode in the Avidrome at EHLE. Aviodrome has filed for bankruptcy, and now a curator is investigating if investors are willing to take over the lot. Otherwise the collection will be sold to the highest bidder (scrap prices at minimum.
Apparently visitor numbers were rising again, but not enough to compensate for the reduction of income as a result of less and less company arrangements (tours, parties, sight-seeing flights from 1957 Schiphol, etc.).
Sad news for Dutch aviation
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Always sad when these facilities face hard times - heritage can easily be lost forever. Let's hope a buyer can be found...
