200% microlight!
200% microlight!
The first Microlight World Show, organised by the Federation in partnership with the Loir-et-Cher département and Blois-Le Breuil aerodrome, was a success. The objectives we had set ourselves were achieved.
- Bringing together the diversity of microlights,
- Show new developments and the innovative strength of microlighting
- Increase the number of exhibitors and extend the Mondial to 3 days
- Offering entertainment throughout the days and in the evenings
- Making the World Show the world's leading venue for microlight enthusiasts, linked to the Loir-et-Cher area
We expected 3 000 visitors, basing ourselves on previous editions; we had 5 500, with more than 120 exhibitors and a great deal of positive feedback. Of course, we must improve many things for the next edition, and as a priority:
- Make it easier for exhibitors to arrive and fly
- Better integration of paramotor flights, for both professionals and private pilots
- More entertainment, especially on the Sunday
- More foreign exhibitors and simple machines
In the very particular context of these months weighed down by Covid, the MULM was a breath of fresh air and a fine showcase for our passion. I would particularly like to thank all the volunteers who ran this first edition magnificently. I also thank our partners and the exhibitors who put their trust in us. I would also like to acknowledge the commitment, attentiveness and support of Damien Cazé, Director General of Civil Aviation and patron of this first edition.
The 2021 edition was 100% microlight; the 2022 edition will be 200% microlight!
It will take place on 2, 3 and 4 September 2022.
Happy flying to you all, and long live MULM 2022!
