ILAS Events Announced for 2025

ILAS, the Irish Light Aviation Society, has announced three fly-ins for this coming flying season. All three will take place at ILAS Field, close to Taghmon, Co. Wexford. All events are subject to weather which will be advised a few days before each event.

The Irish Light Aviation Society (ILAS) was formed in 2009 when members of CAACI (Classic Aircraft & Aerobatic Club of Ireland) and SAAC (Society of Amateur Aircraft Constructors) decided to merge both organisations. The purpose of the organisation is to promote the construction, restoration and operation of aircraft for recreation in Ireland. The organisation has over 100 aircraft on its books. Examples include a 1940 Piper J5 Cub Cruiser, A Colibri, several Piper J3 Cubs, including one on floats, a 2006 SeaRey Amphibian and a number of homebuilts from the Vans RV series of aircraft. More information is available from their website at www.ilas.ie

If you’re planning on organising a flying event this year, please send us the details and we’ll add them to the FII Events List. Details can be sent to mark@flyinginireland.com
