History of Zeltweg Air Base
The planning of an airfield in the middle of Styria was in 1935. A year later construction works carried on and in the late 1937 the first unit, the Schulgeschwader, was based in Zeltweg.
On 13 March 1938 the airfield was handed over to the German Luftwaffe. They used the station as an instructor base for twin-engine aircraft (e.g. Ju 88, Ju 86, Do 17).
In the last months of the World War II the Jagdgeschader 300 was stationed before the Ukraine Army[clarification needed] occupied the region.
The airfield was later handed back to the British Government and the 26th Infantry Division and the Royal Air Force were stationed here. In 1955 RAF Station Zeltweg closed and the airfield was transferred back to Austria. Following the lifting of post WWII military restrictions and the re-establishment of the Austrian Armed Forces initial Infantry units were stationed at Zeltweg. During 1956, the first troops of the Austrian Air Force were stationed here.
Franz Hinterstoisser has done a flight in a balloon in 1902 from Salzburg over the Alps to Weißkirchen, near Zeltweg, In honor of this ride the air base was named "Hinterstoisser" in the year 1967, after this Austrian airman.
Along the years there were a lot of different aircraft types stationed in Zeltweg. Some of them are possible to visit in the Austrian military aircraft museum in Zeltweg as part of the HGM.
In 2007 the first Austrian Eurofighter Typhoon landed in Zeltweg.[source wikipedia]
