The Aviasud AE-209 Albatros is a two-seat high-wing ultralight aircraft. Aviasud Engineering from
Fréjus, France developed this largely from strengthened synthetic built 2-seat highwing ULM-aeroplane
with push-propeller. Production of the AE-209 Albatros started in 1992. The Albatros is available with
the 2-stroke Rotax 582 and the 4-stroke Rotax 912 engine. The Albatros classique is equipped with a
tail wheel; the Albatros tricycle is equipped wit a nose wheel or tail wheel. The wings can be folded,
which reduces the needed parking space in the hangar.
The 1997-built Aviasud AE-209 Albatros s/n 126 was registered OO-D43 in Belgium on 27 September 2001.
On 15 August 2004, Aviasud AE-209 Albatros OO-D43 was seen during the 20th Oldtimer Fly-in at Schaffen-Diest (EBDT).
