Bonsoir,

If Monsieur Sentry or anyone else is listening, has anyone ever tried spotting outside at Solenzara?

Clues, points d'interesse, whatever.

Merci in advance!!

Been there twice (2002 and 2004), just a hit and run near the Southern approach when some mil gliders were flying and a Jodel towed them.
are the gliders still based there?
