Lahden Ilmasilta (LIS) was founded on November 15th, 1962. LIS acts as a meeting forum of people who have dedicated themselves to aviation. In addition to the monthly club meetings, the members gather together for aviation related spring and fall trips. Also, LIS organizes regular club evenings, which’ themes are related to the national defence, aviation, and history of aviation.

We take part in the aviation museum activity by maintaining old aeroplanes and articles in a hangar situated in the Vesivehmaa airfield. The hangar is open for visitors during summer.

Important interest groups of Lahden Ilmasilta are:

Air forces
War museum
Aviation museum of Central Finland
Finnish aviation museum
Hallinportti museum
and other Ilmasilta associations
