We normally do a meet-up down there later in the year. The weather down there is usually nice after it has closed in in much of Europe.
Is there any interest?

The only weekend that might be possible for s is the 31.10. to 3.11. But not really sure yet.
I am but it won’t be easy to pick the date so much in advance. We have to be flexible because of the weather.
I am
If not on holyday elsewhere I’ll be glad to attend.
21st / 22nd would be good for me
RTFQ – 21/22 September. Crystal ball (roster) doesn’t see as far as October/November yet.
I could do the last week in September also. However I think it may be too soon for many, especially those who are coming to the Montenegro meet-up.
I’m in, if there’s a non-AENA field nearby (not legal for me otherwise)

You can’t land on AENA field with ultralight?
You can’t fly in controlled airspace, like a CTR, right in the middle of which is a…. Some exceptions, but I guess this fly-in won’t be to Menorca (LESL).
These things may change though. Constructive discussions are ongoing between the GA-community and the authorities and this will probably lead to various improvements for UL flyers, including flying in CAS and above 1.000 ft AGL. And ‘certification’ of UL’s in Spain for types that have been approved certain other countries.
I don’t think access to AENA fields is on the list, but is pretty irrelevant. There are so many more suitable non-AENA fields for UL ops. So wherever the fly-in is, it prob 40 won’t be a problem, I’ll likely have various options
But maybe I should go and stand next to Son Bonet’s runway, stick my thumb into the air and hope that a certain Swedish reg DA42 sees it?
