Khoksa Airfield has opened its doors and thank you to the years of effort by Mr. Ravansith or (Sith), the Airfield Manager and Chairman.

First Flight

Above is the picture of our first flights. We took up the Fk9 light aircraft and also the Delta wing aircraft to demonstrate to all the attendees including Ministries of Lao P.D.R., the Military Personnel, and also the Air Traffic Control from Wattay International Airport (VLVT). It was a successful launch and also quite exciting day for the flying community.
