POL BACQUET
Becoming an Air France pilot was my dream ever since I was a young teenager, but life’s circumstances led me down the path of Architecture — a journey that allowed me to travel across much of the world.
During my university years, I had the privilege of working with Air France at Caracas Airport as a ground agent.
That fascinating and diverse experience gave me the chance to witness the final flights of the Boeing 707, to work alongside the majestic Boeing 747, and to spend two unforgettable years involved in the story of the legendary white bird… the Concorde — an extraordinary adventure that even allowed me to fly with Captain André Turcat himself. A memorable encounter!
After a professional career spent almost entirely abroad, I’ve had the privilege of traveling, living, and discovering many countries around the world.
Now, having finally set my bags down, I devote part of my time to photographing Air France’s beautiful aircraft near the runways of Paris–Charles de Gaulle Airport — as an aviation image hunter, driven by passion.
