History

During summer of 2003 we established the “Seaplane Association Salzkammergut” in Ebensee, to reintroduce this special kind of flying in our area. There has been seaplane activity in the 30´s of last century with a flight-connection from Vienna to the major lakes of Salzkammergut like
Atter-, Wolfgang- and Traunlake.

In 2002 for the first time flew Oliver Hörzing a Piper Supercub with amphibian floats owned by our partner club Aeroclub Como from Como (Italy) to Ebensee. As a side event of the sailing world championship which was hosted by the sailing club Ebensee we offered VIP flights.

Again with support of some sponsors Oliver Hörzing und our first member Karlheinz Herdel flew the meanwhile famous yellow Super Cub from Como to Ebensee and back. This time we joined the first time class-one powerboat race in Austria. Although the weather was  perfect we could do some nice flights, specially the way back to Como was in perfect weather conditions.

As it is quite time intensive and challenging to cross the Alps for flights to Austria, we decided to operate our own aircraft.
