Microlight calendar: events near you

Summer is coming, and so are the microlight gatherings! Many events are planned in your regions over the coming weeks. A closer look at 3 of them: Retro Three-Axis at Ste Thorette, the Air Festival at Montpezat and the Gyroplane Gathering at the Aéroclub d'Eu-Le Tréport-Mers sur Bains.

Retro three-axis microlights at Ste Thorette

For its first edition, RetroMultiaxe will be held on Saturday 25 June at the Ste Thorette microlight strip (LF1853). Registration is now closed, and 50 microlights in all will be there, including 18 vintage three-axis machines. Around 110 people in total will attend the event.

Our participants are won over by microlights that are simply built, inexpensive, easy to maintain and fly, and truly ultralight: simple, but also low-powered, fuel-efficient and therefore eco-responsible. The weekend is also an occasion for history, exchange and good company.

All the information is available from Martin and the ABUL club on 02 48 57 13 95 or by email at club@abul.asso.fr
