Since I started flying in Europe in mid-2012, I thought for fun tonight I would check my online logbook for my most visited airports other then my home base (based on arrivals to the airport).
Home base: EGTK Oxford
Most visited:
1. KBED Hanscom, Bedford Mass – 15
2. EDDB Schoenefeld – 13
3. EGBJ Gloucestershire – 11
4. EDDK Cologne/EGHQ Newquay – tied at 8
5/ EDFE Egelsbach – 6
Most obscure: BGKK Kulusuk – 1
The results surprised me.
Not bad, flying all the way to Massachusetts from Oxford in a Meridian and that 15 times in a year!
Ha. Yes, well I like to keep current!
Mine surprise me too, to an extent.
Homebase is LSZH
Most visited:
LSZK (Speck Fehraltdorf – Maintenance base) 5
LSZQ (Bressaucourt) – 4
LSZS (Samedan), LSZR (Altenrhein), EDJA (Memmingen), -3
LOWS (Salzburg), LSZB (Bern), LSPV (Wangen Lachen), EDRY (Speyer),LYBE (Belgrade) -2
Most memorable:
LBPD (Plovdiv), LDRI (Rijeka), LBPR (Primorsko),
Most “obscure” : EDNO (Nördlingen)
Nice :)
JasonC, what route do you take EGTK-KBED, and i guess its with Piper Meridian? Interesting the hear about altitude and speed also :)

Jonas, I did training there (which is why it skews the numbers). Brought the Mirage over in late-2012 KBED – Goose Bay – Narsarsuwaq – Kulusuk – Vagar – Wick all at FL250.
I’m based at Cambridge and, over the last 12 months, out of a total of 145 flights:
Biggin Hill 30
Prestwick 18
Monchengladbach 15
Most memorable? Perhaps not as spectacular as some but, for the experience, RAF Coningsby for Project Propeller
So the joy of an electronic logbook is I can see every airport I have landed at since I came to Europe. The results are surprising to me.
Currently 177 airfields.
My top 20 (excluding home base) are:
ICAO Airport name Arrivals KBED Hanscom Fld 29 EGBT Turweston 27 EDDB Schonefeld 26 EHAM Schiphol 21 EGBJ Gloucestershire 20 EDDK Koln Bonn 18 EDFE Egelsbach 14 EGHQ Newquay 11 EDMS Straubing 9 EDMA Augsburg 8 EDMV Vilshofen 7 EGPC Wick 7 K3B1 Greenville Muni 7 KSFM Sanford Rgnl 7 CYYR Goose Bay 6 EDFM Mannheim City 6 BGBW Narsarsuaq 6 ELLX Luxembourg 6 LFLY Bron 5 EDDE Erfurt-Weimar 5
