The Saint-Omer flying club organizes the fourth edition of his Jodel Lovers Fly-In on September 3rd & 4th 2004. As stated in the name, this fly-in is not "exclusive" and it is dedicated to all Jodel lovers. All kind of planes are welcome, particularly homebuilt.

Foreign visitors are most welcome. During the first editions in 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively 26, 52 and 94 crews took part to the fly-in. Each time, more than a half came from abroad : UK, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland.

Participating pilots are invited for a meal on Sunday 4th September, at lunchtime. Prior booking is mandatory. The cost for the lunch is 14 € including drinks, payable on the day.

For pilots coming from remote locations, a welcome comity will be provided from Saturday afternoon. Accommodation and meals rest at your own charge. We can arrange transport from the airfield to Saint-Omer and also to the War and rockets history museum located around 5 kilometres from the airfield (ticket at your own charge).

To help with the organisation, would pilots who intend to participate kindly inform us before August 28th, preferably via the on-line registration form available at the bottom this page.

Note : The fly-in is not an "Airshow". Public are not admitted and the airfield remains open to traffic during the two days.

Accomodation is at the own charge of participants. No reservation will be made by the organisers.

There are few hotels at Saint-Omer (see the list) and they are often full. That is why we suggest to participants to book as soon as possible...

Camping is possible on the airfield. For those who want to do so, please state it with the registration.
