After speaking to the organisers via the Facebook group they mentioned that two aircraft had been accidentally missed from the list:

- Fiesler Fi-156 Storch (F-AZRA)
- North American OV-10B Bronco (F-AZKM)

The Gazelle listed will also be an ALAT example

:grin:

You cannae do everything!

I went to La Ferte last year for the first time - but it certainly won't be the last. An absolutely splendid airshow set amidst fabulous rolling French countryside and with a lovely laid-back, vintage feel to it. Oh, and a stellar line-up. Like a cross between Oshkosh (though naturally on a vastly reduced scale), and Flying Legends.
Posting comments on an aviation-related chatroom, are ya? Looks like it an' all...

Small update today in the form of a third Morane-Saulnier MS.317 (F-BFZK), which compliments the two previously confirmed examples.

I wonder if someone familiar with this event can help...

Somehow I have convinced the boss and we are going to this for the first time -- we are staying to the east, just North of Melun.
Everyone says the queues are bad -- would approaching on the D83 and arriving from the south be best or approaching from the north on the D74/D31 be best -- can route either way really.


Thanks for any help

I've travelled in from Milly-le-Foret using the D83 before and had no trouble. This year though I'm staying at Evry and will come in via the D191.
The simple answer really is just to get there early and you'll sail straight in without any bother.
PM me if you want any more info as I'm more than happy to help.

Another info:
A train strike is planned this week-end and there may be fewer or even no trains to La Ferté-Alais (especially on saturday) :mad: .
