Who is Thomas ?

Thomas Migneaux is a French paraglider and paramotor pilot, in the ITV Wings team since 2011.


When he was a kid, Thomas wanted to be pilot for the army.
Thomas entered the “flying world” via his father, who was a paramotor instructor.
He was only 12 years old when he made his first flight with a Proxima, already under an ITV glider!


Thomas' greatest memory was his first trip to Dubai for the Parabatix in 2012.
He says: "It was a very special time for me when I was able to organize with Vincent Reffet a wingsuit/ paramotor sequence. I took off in paramotor with my 16 m2 Bullit, Vince took off from an autogyr and turned around me by making "hello" while we gain altitude, all this above an incredible scenery! The paramotor gave me the best opportunities to make many of my dreams come true!! "


In our current range, its favorite wing is the Fury: "this wing gives me as much pleasure in paragliding as in paramotor, I realized all my shows and competition in Fury, I’m in love with it!"


For the future, his project is to improve his skills even more, in slalom and acro.
