What I like about Fayence is the familiar feeling. I come here since 1994 with (large) interruptions in between, and though it always feel as if you left only the day before. They have got the same instructors as when I came here 15 years ago, the same procedures and the same cozy atmosphere. By…

After the splendid flight I made to the Mont Blanc with Michel Trial, I was authorized to fly “solo” again on a glider in the local area (note that I did not glide for two years – although I started gliding thirty years ago) This means in Fayence that you get a Ka 6 at…

My license is still valid, but it is always a good idea (and it is an obligation as well) to make a check flight with an instructor. In Fayence, you have several professional gliding instructors as well as a chief pilot. One of the instructors, I’m close with is Michel Trial. He just became 65…

I started again with gliding this summer. I practice gliding since 1979, the last years I exclusively do so in Fayence.

I started with gliding (soaring) some 30 years ago as a member of the Belgian Air Cadets. I enjoyed gliding in Belgium with the Air Cadets. A fellow mate of my class was Yves Jeanmotte, who has become a professional pilot and a rewarded gliding champion. We flew in the summer camps at Oostmalle and…

tomorrow, I’m going to fly with a Cessna 182 modell Q. It has been a while (couple of years) since I last flew it with on a fly out to the Alps. I had to take some lessons in order to fly it solo again. Tomorrow, it is my first solo flight. I have asked…

Seems that Aerosport is organising a fly out to Austria in the mid of August. I’m not sure whether it is confirmed or not, I have anyway booked a C182 for four days. Let’s wait and see

My mom, who’s living in Hasselt, Belgium, uses to come from time to time to visit us in Luxembourg. This time, I suprised her whilst announcing that I would come to pick her up at the nearby airfield of Zwartberg, Genk in Belgium. I booked a Cessna 172 at Aerosporton the last Friday of June,…
