About Haslemoen Flyplass
Haslemoen Airstrip (Norwegian: Haslemoen flyplass) is a recreational airfield situated at Haslemoen in the village of Våler in Våler Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. Since 2003 the aerodrome only features a 585-meter (1,919 ft) grass runway used mostly by ultralight aircraft and general aviation aircraft. This is located next to a closed 1,800-meter (5,900 ft) formerly military runway.
The field was planned by the Norwegian Army Air Service as a main air station during the late 1930s, but the plans were stopped by the outbreak of the Second World War. Haslemoen was built as a labor camp in 1943 and then taken over by Luftwaffe, who built the airport. Opening in August 1944, its main purpose was to station a squadron of Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condors. Haslemoen was rebuilt and opened as the base of the Artillery Battalion in 1955. Operations resumed in 1960 with the delivery of Cessna O-1 Bird Dog observation aircraft. They remained in service with the artillery until 1992. The grass ultralight runway was established in 1990 and was sold to Våler Municipality in 2007.
