After the successful visit, last year, in Malpensa airport of Milan, in chance of Clipper Day, Air-Born organized this activity again. On September 11th, members of our society visited the apron of Malpensa airport and took the chance, that all spotters, all over the world want and they registered to get inside the installations of Malpensa airport and spend 8 hours, extremely close to the aircrafts that were visiting the airport.

Clipper Day ( it took its name from Italian spotters’ society) took place for the first time in 2004 in excellent collaboration between the authorities of the airport and the members of the Italian spotters' society, who were also employees of the airport. First year’s Clipper Day had 16 participants, especially Italians but since then the number of aviation's friends all over the world has augmented with great pace. On 2010, 220 spotters from 20 countries participated and the organization took place during one weekend, parallel to Grand Prix of Formula 1 in Monza. On 2011, due to the big number of participants, Clipper Day took place in two weekends, September 11th to 12th & 24th to 25th. The fee is just 10 euros and the only requirement to participate is that everyone has to wear a yellow reflective vest, which can be obtained by the organizers.
