Ridali Airfield
Ridali Airfield (; et, Ridali lennuväli) is an airfield in Estonia, about north of Võru in the vicinity of Ridali - a place known for its scenery, lakes, fields and forests, giving glider pilots many visual reference points to navigate by. The airfield was used during World War II, and in the early 1960s it started serving glider pilots. The first gliders to fly in Ridali were Soviet KAI-12s (improved design from the Czech LF-109). The only way to launch gliders was by using the Czech winch "Herkules". By 1968, the club already had two KAI-12s, three Blaníks, two towing winches and a Yak-12 for aerotows. Ridali Airfield is currently the home of Ridali Gliding Club ( et, Ridali Lennuklubi). Aircraft in service See also *List of airports in Estonia This is a list of airports and airfields in Estonia.
