Flying, showmanship and good vibes: FIA El Yelmo 2025

The 25th edition of FIA El Yelmo, Spain’s most important free flight festival, welcomed us with a hot weekend full of flying, spectacle, and reunions with air-loving friends. On Friday evening, our pilots César Arévalo, Tyr Goldsmith, and Blaise Brogan took part in a breathtaking show over the stunning medieval castle of Segura de la Sierra at sunset, with the El Yelmo massif behind us—truly unforgettable. That night, we celebrated with our local distributors, Paralaire and Kasana, in a festive and friendly atmosphere.

Saturday kicked off with a talk by Tyr about the development of our latest-generation wings and BGD’s high-performance project, including exclusive footage of his work as a BGD test pilot. The show went on with César throwing down some epic infinities over the festival, Blaise spinning his wing in helicopters, and unforgettable flights from El Yelmo – with a glimpse of a new top-secret prototype wing in development.

A spectacular weekend filled with great vibes and incredible flying for the BGD team. Hasta la próxima, FIA El Yelmo!
