Croatian GA Status Updates

What’s going on out there

Having always kept tabs on what was going on in Croatian GA – particularly around my neck of the woods, Lučko Airfield (LDZL) – it was only a matter of time before I finally added a proper Update section to Achtung, Skyhawk!. In keeping with my idea of this site not being a conventional news outlet, these updates are rudimentary and Twitteresque in nature, just a quick heads up of significant changes to the local GA landscape…
