The Jet Set: Behind the scenes with the Breitling Jet Team

François ‘Ponpon’ Pousot is humming a tune, the kind of ditty one hums when walking in the park or mowing the lawn. But presently Pousot is some several thousand feet above the ground and travelling at 400kph. What is more, the two-seater Albatros fighter training jet that he’s flying is positioned vertically in the sky, three metres away from another fighter training jet. He eases the controls back and, with a few seconds of 4G pressing into his chest, he’s back on the level again. He is still humming.
