DA fly in in Belgium?

Post by josq »

What about an European Diamond Fly-In in Belgium at the end of August?
Maybe nice to meet each other and to talk with other Diamond owners as well as Diamond representatives?

Belgium is a little in the middle of Europe and … if enough interested members I can sure manage a very impressive weekend on a private airfield with about 3 Km of concrete.

No, never been there but I might consider moving there, Wallonia became a very GA unfriendly region ! Sadly, EBSP (Spa Francorchamps Formula One Grand Prix) is closed since yesterday and EBLG, my home base, just raised the landing fee to a whopping 60 € per landing.
Poor Wallonia :cry:

Already done the petition, Spa was really nice place to fly to. I noticed the price in LG as well, we use this field often for training.
It is not only Wallonia, it’s Belgium and maybe even a global problem … if you want to see some pictures of our previous fly-in’s (2010 to 2012) you can see on : http://barthuysmans.smugmug.com/Vliegtuig

Spa: done. Glad they re-opened. Congratulations.
Fly-in? Maybe for me Would love to.
60€ per landing is a major blow... my goodness....

Jean I was late again and have no landing slot for EDNY at the moment. Let's see how this develops. Hopefully (bad) weather will help me ;)
