Oerlinghausen Airfield (ICAO: EDLO), known as Oerlinghausen gliding airfield (German: Oerlinghausen Segelflugplatz) is a small airfield situated in the town of Oerlinghausen, close to Bielefeld in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany. With around 25,000 glider take-offs each year it is one of the largest gliding centres globally,[1] comparable with Lasham Gliding Society in the United Kingdom. It is home to over 10 gliding clubs and a gliding school.[citation needed] It is also used by powered aeroplanes, microlights and hot air balloons.
