It is true that the opportunity to meet young people to share your passion in these complicated times is not legion. It is also proof that the air continues to make people dream, whatever some may think.

For the passing visitor, what strikes in the first place is the professionalism of these young pilots. It is also the quality of their welcome. Passionate, they do not hesitate to exchange with you to tell you about their plane, their journey and everything that makes the salt of this moment. And contrary to what some grieving spirits might think, it is far from being a male den. Many young female pilots joined the event.

The transmission of knowledge

The diversity of routes and horizons corresponds to the diversity of aircraft. This Fly-camp has brought together a wide variety of aircraft. In addition to the Robin DR400 flying club, you could admire amateur-built aircraft such as a baby Jodel, a Jurca Storm and other beautiful machines.

Beautiful vintage planes had also made the trip. We could almost have thought we were at the Ferté Alais meeting with a T-6, four Stearman and an N3N. A superb Yak-18T from the Yako Team came as a neighbor of Blois (LFOQ). A TB-30 Epsilon, recently added to the register of collector's aircraft, completed this picture.
