[airbornex2001]

The Australian designed and manufactured XT-912 continues to make
inroads into the European market with Airbornes French distributor
winning the prestigious microlight Tour de France for the second year
running on the Airborne XT-912. Serge and Genevieve Bouchet operate
Veriplane ULM Paris one of the largest microlight schools in France. The
school caters for both weight shift and 3 axis students.

The Tour de France takes it's pilots around the French countryside where
they navigate and race against each other encountering varying weather
conditions. Serge a veteran of the sport is full of praise for Airbornes
designs and says the XT-Streak 3 combination is the best handling weight
shift microlight he has flown.

Airborne have now gained French acceptance for their complete range of
Australian CASA approved microlights.

Two years ago Airborne achieved a milestone by gaining UKCAA acceptance
for their XT-912, so far thay are the only overseas manufacturer of the
type allowed to sell ready to fly into the UK market.

Yes, I have been there and flew the Airborne 912 XT with the streak 3 wing. Great machine!
It's the same class as the Quik, GT450 and Tanarg.
It's a matter of personnal taste what you buy but it definately is a very good trike.

check it out if you can,
