Briefing at the Paris Air Show – Le Bourget

For many of us, flying has become commonplace. But we should not be too quick to forget the dream, the fascination and the magic that still dwell in aviation. It is a legacy that comes to us from the dawn of time, from the day a human being looked up at the sky with eyes full of longing. It belongs to each and every one of us, private or professional pilots, airline or aerobatic. I myself have received a magnificent share of it!

Aerobatics is not stunt flying

It is a codified top-level sport, with free and compulsory programmes, known and unknown, just like figure skating or gymnastics.
