Bring your spouse, kids or up to seven of your best flying buddies. You will be looked after in style by Arnold and Marié. It’s uncrowded here, and Portugal offers fantastic flying with unlimited potential. We have numerous flying sites in the Serra da Estrela mountains for changing wind directions. This gives us big XC potential into Spain. Our conditions are often smooth and predictable with good high cloud bases.

Who are we?
“Arnold is one of the most prepared and accomplished pilots I have ever met. Marié, the best Hostess and Chef. From world record campaigns in Texas, flying the Colorado Rockies, or XC in his new home in the Serra da Estrela – he knows where to fly, how to fly it, and find the best local food and drink. I flew with Arnold and Marié and had the best vacation of my life in Vila Cortês. Five Star in every way!” Patterson Stark, New Zealand
