Surprisingly, zero interest. Such a great destination.
Of course, Elba is a jewel destination
Was there mid April, and we had a fantastic time there.

Since we are doing Spain in late Sep, perhaps Elba early Sep?
Having 1 fly-out a year looks challenging enough.
2 a year is even more challenging, but 2 in the same month LOL đ¤Ł
PS
Still, Iâd go (itâs a quickie from my place) if it happens.
I might do a trip to Greece (Chios) in early September and do Elba on the way back from there. Itâs not far off-route and one can fly LIRJ-EGKA direct no problem.
Organising fly-outs is hard nowadays. A small group is nice enough though.
OK. Letâs return to this in a couple of monthsâ time. Does anyone know when Elba is likely to close? @africaneagle ?

I repeat my observation made on Forum page:
The venue must, I believe, be a âTour Inâ as well as a âFly Inâ. This is particularly to attract partners.
The distance must be reasonably flyable for low-hour pilots to attract.
I can hardly think of a better âtour inâ than Elba
Unless you mean organising a bus for the wives non-flying partners, taking people somewhere. Thatâs a bit risky for a fly-in unless considerable money is being collected up front. For EuroGA that is simply a no-go.
As regards distance, Elba is very accessible for all of âcentral Europeâ. Low hour pilots would be OK because you donât need to cross the Alps. Just fly down to Nice and turn left. I did that here and here is another Elba report.
As I said above, letâs return to this in a couple of monthsâ time.
Bumping this thread the final time.
Any interest in Elba this summer?
Digging around whether it is likely to close has yielded absolutely nothing from the many Italian pilots here. Sounds like complete nonsense.
Great destination though.
If I find plane and time, would be a pleasure!
I think weâll be going, but actually on a rather short term noticeâŚ
OK so we have

That is a GO!
I wonât create a tg group yet because we want to keep it here, and many people wonât use tg.
Any preferences on date range? Remember Spain is end of Sep.

Accommodation can be tricky in August while July in Italy is less crowded in general.
