When you have been at the controls of the “big white bird”, you are certainly trained to handle critical situations. Henri-Gilles Fournier, the last Concorde driver in France, experienced it on Sunday at the end of the day in the Tarn.
The one who was at the controls of the supersonic for a time had to face a breakdown of the main left undercarriage of the small passenger plane with which he flew over the Castres-Mazamet airport according to the Facebook page of the Cap Avenir Concorde association .
Informed, the authorities had deployed significant means of assistance to deal with all eventualities. But the skills of the one who now chairs the Castres-Mazamet flying club have made it possible to avoid the worst. Henri-Gilles Fournier succeeded in installing the Cessna, practically without damage.
