Papież w kokpicie, a obok francuskie myśliwce. Niezwykła scena podczas lotu Leona XIV [WIDEO]

Pope Leo XIV spent much of an Air France flight in the cockpit while traveling from Lourdes to Metz during his four day visit to France. Pilot Érik Margueritte reported that the pope showed interest in aviation, mechanics, and cars, asking the crew questions about the aircraft and its systems. Margueritte described the pope as calm and direct during their informal conversations.

The flight also included an escort by French Rafale fighter jets, which flew approximately 50 meters from the Air France plane as part of standard escort procedures. According to the flight crew, the pope spoke with the fighter jet pilots and gave them a blessing, along with a blessing for all soldiers and security personnel.
