2–3 December 2026

Take off together, push your boundaries and discover the helicopter world up close. During this two-day Toran Travels, we set course for Lyon to visit European Rotors. A great opportunity to gain flying experience, meet other pilots and learn more about helicopters and simulators.

Curious about different helicopter types? Dreaming of your own aircraft, or keen to discover the options for sharpening your flying skills further? We combine a fascinating afternoon at the show with the pleasure of flying and travelling together.

Wednesday 2 December — On course for Lyon

We meet at 7 a.m. for breakfast together and prepare our flight. Depending on the planning, we depart from Wevelgem, Antwerp or Sint-Truiden. Around 8 or 9 a.m. we take off for France.

After lunch we visit European Rotors. You will have time to explore the show, discover the aircraft and talk to people from the helicopter world.

From helicopters you can see up close to the latest developments in avionics and training systems: European Rotors brings the helicopter world together. You will meet manufacturers and specialists, discover different aircraft and be able to ask questions about flying, equipment and ownership.

Dreaming of your own helicopter, or wondering which technology fits your flying ambitions? This is the moment to compare options and find inspiration, together with other Toran pilots.

In the evening we sit down to dinner together. We share impressions and round off the day with a night in a hotel.

Thursday 3 December — Back to Belgium

After breakfast we get the helicopters ready for the return flight. Around 11 a.m. we set course for Belgium again. Lunch is also provided, in line with the flight planning.

Flight time and guidance

We plan for approximately 4 to 5 hours of flight time per person. Each helicopter takes two participants, alongside a safety pilot or flight instructor. That way you combine the trip with hands-on experience and personal guidance along the way.

The departure location and the actual flight allocation are agreed with the participants in advance.

Travel contribution

The travel contribution is one Travel Credit per person, with the hours flown charged separately.

The travel part includes:

Breakfast at departure on Wednesday.
Lunch on both days.
Admission to European Rotors on Wednesday.
Dinner on Wednesday.
One hotel night with breakfast.

Joining with your own helicopter?

Helicopter owners are also welcome to join with their own aircraft. You experience the trip together with the group; the flight hours and associated costs of your own aircraft are at your own expense.

A small group, a shared experience

We travel with a maximum of five helicopters. So sign up in good time if you would like to join.

The programme and departure times are indicative. The trip and the flight planning depend on weather conditions.

Two days of flying, discovering and catching up with people who share your passion. Leave your details via the form and state your preferred departure location. Travelling with your own aircraft? Please let us know as well.
