Baisy-Thy

The Baisy-Thy microlight airfield is one of the largest ultralight (ULM) bases in Europe.

More than 100 microlights and 1 helicopter are based at the site in the heart of Brabant. The base was created by Roland Coddens and is now run by the friendly brothers Didier and Christoph Coddens, well-known in the aviation community. It's an ideal place for aviation gatherings and other activities. If you'd like to fly a microlight, you can find more information at ULM.be.

A large, free parking area is available. A pilot bar with a terrace offers exceptional views of takeoffs and landings while you enjoy a drink.
