Sports and leisure activities Buhl-Lorraine

The airfield was created in 1911 for pilot training and military observation of the French/German border zone on the eve of the First World War. Subsequently, civilian aeronautical activities were developed. The Sarrebourg-Buhl airfield is home to the Sarrebourg regional flying club, founded in 1947 by Henri Metz, a locksmith born in Sarrebourg in 1892, who learned to fly during his military service in the German army. Today, it is a dynamic intercommunal airfield and the last airfield in Moselle open to public air traffic. It has two runways running south-north, one asphalt runway 740 m long and 20 m wide, and one grass runway 770 m long and 80 m wide. There is also a parking area, a hangar and a fuel and lubricant station. It is used for leisure and tourism activities: light aviation and model aircraft...

The Aeroclub de Sarrebourg-Buhl welcomes you to the Henri Metz aerodrome near Sarrebourg, with a fleet of gliders for training, practice flights, pleasure or performance. Geeks can practise their skills on the flight simulator, a two-seater, dual-control training aid that reproduces the ergonomics of a glider cabin, with all the controls of a real glider: stick, airbrakes, landing gear. The flight environment is projected onto a wall using a video projector.

The airfield in the Sarrebourg region is home to a wide range of activities. First flights, ultralight flying school... Did you know that for the price of a standard B license, you can take your microlight pilot's license? After just a few months' experience, you'll be able to show your family around Saarbrücken's magnificent forests, lakes and Vosges mountains, as seen from the air. And in just two hours of microlight flying, you'll even be able to see the Normandy coastline!
