Mogas available locally, but bring your own 2 stroke oil if you fly a 2 stroke, we will have limited jerry cans on site for your use & we will get you to & from the local filling station. It is also important that you bring tie-downs to secure your aircraft as all parking will be on grass.

The cost of the overnight event is €15(euro) per person, this includes food at the BBQ, a full bar service will be available on the night, and excellent music will also be provided by our resident Pilot & musician, Hugh McLean , this should go on to the wee small hours ! .. all in all we can say that we will have an excellent night. We would really like as many UK crews to come across to Ireland for the event, it is a very simple crossing from the UK and we are only about 1:30 minutes west of Belfast in the average microlight / plane. You all will be made most welcome. Full airfield details are on the Letterkenny Flying Club website inc plate, airfield pictures and instructions, see HERE. Donegal is one of the most beautiful areas in Europe, come along and spend a while with us.
