#2 - Starting the German UL/LSA STOL movement in Germany with Tom Huber

The STOL Collective

Thomas Tom Huber grew up in the ideal postcard picture you could have of south Bavaria. He was exposed to aviation at a young age thanks to his grand-father who was a pilot during WWII. Finally getting his PPL license during the 90´s while working at a lodge in British Columbia - Canada, he fully discovered the possibilities of UL/LSA type aircrafts while supporting rally races in north Africa at the beginning of 2000. If you have already been around the AERO fair in Friedrichshafen, you definitively noticed the most creative booth of the show! Apart from being Zlin Aviation German dealer for the past 15 years, Tom is a legend in the German/Austrian UL/LSA STOL community. Very probably for being the one who started it! Sharing the same passion for the North and especially Alaska with his wife Hilde; who is also a very talented bush pilot by the way! Tom works and spends his time with his family on their own private dreamland airfield in the south of Munich - Germany. Joining us for the second episode of The STOL Collective, live recorded on the airfield, Tom shares his journey through backcountry aviation in Europe and beyond. Strap in, take off from your gravel bar, don’t fly straight and level but always in safety! Music credits: "Slowly", Amon Tobin - Supermodified, 2000
