La Ferte Alais

Does anyone have any experience of flying in to La Ferte Alais airshow? The web site does not have any information on visiting aircraft or camping facilities.

Thanks.

Only a memory, nothing guaranteed: flying in is not allowed. They used to have an arrangement with a (more or less) nearby aerodrome, but I can't find such a mention on their website this year.

Consulting their website, I did find the whole thing rather expensive! But it must be their major source of income, and the money will be well spent. Better this than the fate of the Avro Vulcan.

PS there is a mention of "camping places near the aerodrome" which is an AIP's way of stating that camping "sur les lieux" is not allowed.

Thanks for the info Jan. I guess I am better off saving my fuel for Schaffen-Diest where I know I will be welcomed with free beer!

I'll offer you one on top of the organisers' - if you wish to pm me. It is just 15 mins flying from my home field so I really have no excuse to NOT fly there!

Honesty demands to state that the programme at La Ferté Alais is quite a bit more impressive, though.
