For some it is an acrobatic spectacle in the sky, for others it is noise pollution and environmental nuisance: we are talking about aerobatic maneuvers by private pilots, which are flown over Lake Attersee from spring onwards. The Greens are piling on the pressure: could there even be a ban?

The stunts performed by aerial acrobats are certainly breathtaking: these racers of the skies use smoke to draw spectacular pictures in the sky during climbs, rolls, quick changes of direction or loops - which many people don't like.
