7 day Tour de France 2026
September 7 – September 13

Back by popular demand… It’s another opportunity to join our intrepid aviators as we again take to the air for another Tour de France!
Last time, we embarked on our BIGGEST AV-venture to date. 5 pilots, 4 helis and 4 instructors flew 2,000 nm around France. This 6 day fly out took our intrepid explorers on a whistle stop tour de france no bike required! With the assistance of Capt Elling-Hwang we secured overnights at some of the most incredible châteaux and hotels with spectacular views and as you would expect equally amazing food!
This year, we are going EVEN BIGGER and making it a 7 day fly out!
Interested? Take a look at our YouTube channel to ride along with our pilots from previous years. You can also read their reflection on the trip here:

Is this trip for me? If you are PPL holder our trips are great excuse to use your license, hone your skills, hour build or just spend time with other pilots.
