Bonsoir,
Un article que seul Richard peut écrire....ou Louis qui prend le temps d'écrire avec une plume extraordinaire.

Les commentaires de Richard sont sublimes.
En guise d'exemple: Before going on, I can honestly say that the only thing that might have been more exciting would be a rocket launch into space.
Ou
For the Concorde arrival at Oshkosh, I was stationed at the building right by the runway from which the air show was run. We spotted the eagerly-awaited airplane on a long final and as it drew closer I wondered what John would do to make the arrival a grand affair.
He touched, lowered the nose, applied full power and lit the afterburners for a touch-and-go. He passed where I was just feet away and the nose level was nothing short of spectacular. No other machine could turn fuel into noise like that one.
A low level turn followed, a chandelle off the runway, after which he came back for a normal landing and enthusiastic welcome.
Bonne lecture
