EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a historic moment in aviation history. Captured on March 13,1974, it showcases the inaugural landing of the first plane at France-Roissy-Airport, now famously known as Charles de Gaulle Airport. The Boeing 747 belonging to TWA gracefully touches down on the runway after its long journey from New York. The image exudes a sense of grandeur and significance as this new airport was poised to become one of Europe's busiest hubs. Located just northeast of Paris in Roissy en France, it promised convenience for travelers with its strategic location only 27 kilometers away from the heart of the French capital. The photographer skillfully captures this milestone moment in crisp black and white tones, emphasizing both the elegance of the aircraft and the vastness of the runway beneath it. The sheer size and power of the Boeing 747 are evident as it dominates the frame. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at witnessing such an iconic event unfold before our eyes. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress in air travel while also reminding us that every journey begins with a single step – or rather, touchdown – on solid ground.
