Vogler Aerodrome, Military aerodrome in Hörsching, Austria

The Vogler Aerodrome operates with a 3000-meter runway and accommodates both helicopter squadrons and air transport operations in Upper Austria.

The aerodrome was constructed in 1938 by German forces as a fighter school and later became Advanced Landing Ground R-87 under American control in 1945.

In 1967, the facility received its name in recognition of First Lieutenant Walter Vogler who sacrificed himself to rescue crew members from a burning aircraft.

The aerodrome maintains active military operations through the Air Support Command and houses technical logistics facilities for aircraft maintenance and repair.

The airfield grounds have developed into a nesting area for specific bird species that are uncommon in other parts of the region.
