A

s a child, Fréderic Lért

dreamed of becoming

a pilot. Unfortunately,

he says, he had to swap

this dream for a ‘thick pair of

glasses’. Becoming a leading

aviation photojournalist was

a strong second choice that

he says he has never regretted.

In this issue he writes about

deployed operations by the

French Air Force and the

retirement of the Mirage

2000N, which he says makes

him feel old as so many popular

types end their service.
