Varese-Venegono Airport (IATA: QVN, ICAO: LILN), known also as "''Aeroporto Arturo Ferrarin",'' is an Italian airport that supports military and leisure activities. Located in Venegono Inferiore, in north Italy, it serves the surrounding areas (Varese, Como and Milano provinces) as a touristic airport and Alenia Aermacchi as a military airport. The airport is located 5.4 NM from Varese city, 12.4 NM from Milan Malpensa Airport and 27.3 NM from Milan Linate Airport. The Aerodrome Administration Authority is the Italian Air Force-Cameri Aerodrome Command, and the operator is Varese Aeroclub. == History == The airport was established in the 1930s as a temporary military camp and was then developed in response to military needs, especially when Milan started to be attacked by the allied units. Throughout World War II the airport was the "Gruppo Aerosiluranti Buscaglia" military base. During the war the airport hosted a squadron with six Fiat C.R.42. These were complemented in the later stages of the war when Fiat were joined by some Reggiane fighter-bombers. After 8 September 1943’s Italian armistice, the German Army took control of the airport until November of the same year, when the Italian Social Republic regained it. After the war the airport started to be used for gliding. An enterprise based at first at Malpensa, called Aeronautica Aermacchi, moved in Venegono Inferiore. This company, originally, was specialized in Vampire Aircrafts reviews and tests on the MB 326. In 1981 it was reorganized as a holding company, called Aermacchi SpA. Later, in 1993, it moved the whole production of its aircraft to Venegono. In 2003 it was purchased by Finmeccanica, changing its name to Alenia Aermacchi. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Varese-Venegono Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
