EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in aviation as French pilot Jean-Francois Jacquelin skillfully lands a replica of Wilbur Wright's Flyer 3. The homage flight took place on June 20,2006, at Le Mans aerodrome, with the great grand-niece of the legendary aviator, Amanda Wright Lane, present to witness this remarkable event. The dedication and hard work of the volunteers from Le Mans Sarthe Aero Retro association shine through in this image. Over four years and more than 10,000 hours were invested in building an exact replica of the plane that Wilbur Wright used to break the first flight distance record on August 8,1908 during his stay in western France. As Jacquelin expertly guides the aircraft towards its landing spot, one can't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for both him and those who painstakingly reconstructed this iconic piece of aviation history. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. The significance of this tribute is not lost upon anyone witnessing it; it symbolizes our enduring fascination with flight and pays homage to one of its greatest pioneers. Through their efforts, these dedicated individuals have ensured that Wilbur Wright's legacy lives on for future generations to appreciate. In capturing this extraordinary moment from Agence France-Presse (AFP), photographer Jean-Francois Monier has immortalized an important chapter in aviation history - reminding us all that dreams can take flight if we dare
