[Helico Cholet 2026]
First european helicopter event

After our three first successful events, the great helicopter gathering is back for an exceptional third edition.

On may 30th. and 31th. next, the first european helicopter event is going to gather: owners, pilots, manufacturers, exhibitors, enthusiasts and a large audience at Cholet aerodrome LFOU. About one hundred public, private, military, foreign and French helicopters are expected on site.

Around a hundred aircraft, including public, private, military, French and foreign models, are expected on the Choletais tarmac. Numerous activities and stands will be set up, with all the necessary logistics for welcoming and accommodating visitors.

From Saturday to Sunday evening, there will be a private gathering for rotary wing enthusiasts (registration required).

The free meeting will take place on Sunday, with a new feature for 2026: a presentation of model aircraft (aeromodelling).

Demonstration flights will be offered during the private day on Saturday.
First flights will be offered to the general public on Sunday only.
