International Seaplane Gathering - Biscarrosse
This weekend, Biscarrosse reconnected with its aeronautical history by hosting the International Seaplane Gathering. A spectacular event, unique in Europe, that drew crowds to Lake Latécoère.
Parmi les moments forts, le plash-in réalisé par Laurent Venet a impressionné par son sérieux et la rigueur des manœuvres. La sécurité était au cœur de toutes les démonstrations, offrant un spectacle aussi fascinant que rassurant. Frédéric, aux commandes de son Sea Max, a ensuite offert une prestation fluide et élégante, très applaudie par les spectateurs présents.
The atmosphere among the enthusiasts was particularly warm. Many pilots gladly shared their experience, enthusiastically telling anecdotes and flying memories. A real community, driven by a love of aviation and of seaplanes in particular, came together around this unifying event.
The high point came on Saturday, with nearly 20 000 visitors coming to enjoy a programme full of demonstrations. In the evening, a magical moment closed the day: a Bronco launched a spectacular firework display, followed by a ballet of drones tracing the history of seaplane flying, then a final firework display of rare intensity.
This Biscarrosse event confirms, once again, the undimmed passion for seaplanes, but also the town’s ability to keep its aeronautical heritage alive with modernity and emotion.
