The Coupe Icare saw great weather over the weekend as tens of thousands of pilots and spectators descended on the small mountain village of St Hilaire de Touvet in the French Alps for four days of flying fun.
In this special half-hour long Coupe Icare podcast for xccontent.local, Andy Pag reports from the frontline of the festival and speaks to:
- Red Bull X-Alps podium finisher Clement Latour about Sup’Air harnesses and flying in the X-Alps
- Catherine Mouligne about her project to find good homes for old wings (www.hommevolant.fr)
- Icaro about their latest technical evolution – using titanium rods in the leading edge
- And the Valic brothers about growing the 777 brand.
A great listen.
