      History


      The moor at Ljungby was adopted for military use in 1658 by the Scanian Hussar Regiment as a training ground. In 1910, the first flights were commenced from the grounds.
      Enoch Thulin set up a public flying school on June 16, 1915.
      In 1926, the newly formed Swedish Air Force set up their flying school at Ljungbyhed.
      Between 1983 and 1996 the Air Force school of meteorology was also located at Ljungbyhed.
      In 1996, F 5 Ljungbyhed was decommissioned and the pilot training was taken over by the Scania Wing (F 10).
      Currently, Lund University School of Aviation has commercial flying training at Ljungbyhed Airport (ICAO: ESTL).
