Biscarrosse's International Seaplane Meeting
Biscarrosse is the French capital of seaplanes. Therefore, it seems natural that the Seaplane Museum, the town and the aeronautic community allied themselves to organize a worldwide seaplane meeting.
The first edition of the Biscarrosse International Seaplane Meeting (Rassemblement International d'Hydravions de Biscarrosse) was launched in 1991 and it takes place every two years on the former Latécoère base.
The next edition is due in 2024.
