General Info last validated: oct11 |
|
This general aviation airfield, between Deventer and Apeldoorn, hosts a lot of light aircraft, several helicopters, twins and small bizjets. Teuge is also in use as a glider airfield and a parachuting centre. Among the flight training carried out from here is aerobatic flying. Several ballooning companies are based at Teuge as well. |

Getting There |
|
The nearest motorway exits are on the eastern edge of Apeldoorn (A50 or A1) or south of Twello (A1). The latter provides the easiest access by driving into Twello and taking a left there at the roundabout onto the N344. The routes via Apeldoorn involve entering the city or relying on country roads. However, hourly bus services from Apeldoorn station (service number 15, leaving just after the hour) are stopping right in front of the airport entrance so public transport is definitely an option. |

Layout |
|
The field lies amidst farmlands on the northern edge of Teuge village. The paved 1200 meter runway and the unpaved 700 meter runway intersect. Two glider strips lie parallel to the main runways. The hangars are all built closely together so not everything can be seen from the outside. Fortunately, it is not that difficult to gain access to the field (as with most smaller airfields in the country), just try your luck at the airport manager's office. |

Around The Airport |
 Main entrance |
|
Both the restaurant and the national parachuting centre offer their visitors a terrace and sun lounge (or similar facilities) right along the aprons and taxiway. This area is also your starting point to try and get airside access. To get airside access: report to the airfield duty officer. She/he may request you wearing a hi-viz smock, and will ask for identification. |
 Viewing Area |
|
This spot is found by following the main road to the right, in the direction of Stella Maintenance. Just left of the circular building you will find the entrance to this public viewing area. Picnic allowed! |
 Ilyushin 18 |
|
Former Interflug Il-18V DDR-STD was moved to Teuge in April 2009, after having served in Germany as a restaurant since 1992. By the end of July, 2009, the propliner had been converted into a hotel suite and been given a fancy colour scheme. It remains at this spot since then, alongside the southern perimeter airfield road (De Zanden). A few hundred meters from here towards spot 4, at the bend in the road, the preserved Sabre can be found (see under Preserved). |
 Runway 27 |
|
Near the threshold of 27 you will find a perfect location. Landings and departures are close enough for photos, and cars may be parked just off the road. Being south of the runway, the sun is at the right angle nearly all day. |
 Runway 27 north side |
|
This side of the field offers an excellent clear view, with regular backlight as the only disadvantage. Limited parking space is available off the perimeter road. |
 Final 21 |
|
Parking is not very practical here, but with runway 21 in use the planes on final get quite close. Parachutists tend to land close to the road too, like just west of the beginning of 21. |
