The history of SFG Kondor dates back to the early days of the air forces of the Second Republic. During this period of rebuilding military aviation after the occupation, the aim was to create the opportunity for young men with a passion for flying who could not immediately be assigned to the flying personnel to nevertheless join the air force (excerpt from the commemorative publication 10 Years of the Army Flying Sports Association, 1976). 

For this reason – supported by the Austrian Army – Army Aviation Sports Groups were founded in the late 1950s at Austria’s military airfields. These were the aviation groups: ALBATROS in Graz, HABICHT in Langenlebarn BUSSARD in Linz-Hörsching, GRIMMING in Aigen/Ennstal, and KONDOR in Zeltweg. 

The SFG Kondor notified the formation of the association in December 1959 to the Security Directorate for Styria and with the non-prohibition notice of January 5, 1960 the formation of the Sportfliegergruppe Kondor – Fliegerhorst Zeltweg was officially completed.
