Actually it was one of the main reasons why I started to solve the new southern launch site on Prasiva hill. Take a look at history and come out of previously proven places &#8211; I would recommend it to anyone who likes to create a new startup. But there was a problem with the infrastructure and the landing area in Kota\u0159. And from Pra\u0161iv\u00e1 it&#8217;s on Kota\u0159 on the ridge, not four kilometers over two ribs. The ridge is very often exposed to the southwestern and southern winds, and flying overlooking the whole Beskydy is great at this place.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;58168&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Yesterday I got a book &#8220;Beskydske Grune&#8221; from Mrs. Irena Cich\u00e1, in which I found not only interesting text, but also historical photos to the airport at Kota\u0159 Mountain.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;58165&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;58171&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the 1940s several aeroclubs (later the United Airways Clubs of T\u011b\u0161\u00edn) operated in T\u011b\u0161\u00edn. The aviation enthusiasts decided to set up another airport in the upper part of the Beskydy mountains around 1946. After surveys, they found a new location on Kota\u0159 Mountain. The adjacent mountains, on one side Ropi\u010dka and on the other side Pra\u0161iv\u00e1 and Ky\u010dera, created good conditions for the operation of the sports airport. The trees were first cut out, then landscaping took place and a material was taken out of the temporary path to the Kota\u0159 cottage. The operation of the airport was initiated by experienced pilot Ludwig Klimsz using a rubber rope. In May 1949 the pilot and instructor Josef Godula used the favorable weather conditions and his glider was soon out of sight. Over the part of Beskydy and Mal\u00e1 Fatra he flew to Slovakia. Thus, the fires were lit on Kota\u0159, marking the borders of the airport, which were to be maintained until the glider landed. However, the plane landed in the vicinity of Dobratice early in the morning, away from the airport about 8 kilometers &#8211; the climbing currents enabled the pilot to sail over the Beskydy until dawn.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;58174&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After 1949, the operation of the airport was terminated as a result of the political changes and the airfield was moved to the interior.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what the Communists have distinguished &#8230;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1498731647824{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][mk_button_gradient dimension=&#8221;flat&#8221; size=&#8221;large&#8221; corner_style=&#8221;rounded&#8221; grandient_color_from=&#8221;#6087b9&#8243; grandient_color_to=&#8221;#557bab&#8221; grandient_color_fallback=&#8221;#6087b9&#8243; url=&#8221;https:\/\/elspeedo.cz\/jak-z-prasive-na-preskok\/&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;btn-el-gradient-blue&#8221;]How to XC flight from Prasiva?[\/mk_button_gradient][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I got a book &#8220;Beskydske Grune&#8221; from Mrs. Irena Cich\u00e1, in which I found not only interesting text, but also historical photos to the airport at Kota\u0159 Mountain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":58175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[511],"tags":[803],"class_list":["post-59206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-en","tag-beskydy-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Aeroclub Airport at Kota\u0159 in Beskydy 1949 &#8212; El Speedo<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"El Speedo je nejv\u011bt\u0161\u00ed paraglidingov\u00e1 komunita a \u0161kola v \u010cR.
