A gorgeous and rare pic of a Concorde being escorted by French fighter jets

We at Luxurylaunches just love the Concorde, it was truly the epitome of luxury in the air. Here is a rare pic of the supersonic wonder from 1989 which shows an Air France Concorde being escorted by French fighter jets as it flies over the country of Djibouti in Africa. The escort was for the special VIP passenger onboard – The president of France – François Mitterrand.
