History
The installations
Stavanger Airport, Sola is Norway's oldest airport, opened by King Haakon VII 29 May 1937. The airport was the 2nd to have a concrete landing track in Europe. The airport was assailed and captured by German fallschirmjägers from first battalion of the first Regiment, seventh Flieger Division back up by Luftwaffe aircraft on nine April 1940. The assail was over in an 60 minute, and the airport rested in German mitts for the continuance of World War II. During the conflict, the German line of work pressures and Luftwaffe spread out the airport well, as it was a vital strategical plus for the Germans.
Originally, the thought was to turn up the Stavanger airport at Forus, but after the conflict the Royal Norwegian Air Force make up one's mind to use Sola temporarily until the new airport was made, and nothing of all time got of Forus. Sola Air Station has since been of vital importance for the Norwegian armed services, but bit by bit lost duty assignment, and in 1982 the last scrapper squadron go away the airport.
