It was Romain, a former student of the high school, now a student pilot in Salon-de-Provence in the French Air Force, who presented the BIA diplomas. A gesture full of meaning and promise for the students who brilliantly obtained the Aeronautical Initiation Certificate (Brevet d'Initiation Aéronautique), which crowned a year of general second year with the aeronautics option. A year that gave them wings in class or in flight at a time when they are building their future. It's enough to make your eyes sparkle when you imagine yourself in Romain's place in a few years. It's also a strong gesture for the Jean Dupuy high school, which continues its rise in this sector with the upcoming opening of the BTS Aeronautics program at the start of the next academic year. As evidenced by the imposing helicopter that sits in the middle of the specialty workshop or the flight simulator that replicates the cockpit of the A320 right next door. A real takeoff that mobilizes the high school's partners, as evidenced by the presence of the Bigorre Flying Club and the Air Force for this evening dedicated to the BIA winners. Under the gaze of the students who are preparing for the BIA this year, whether they are in general high school or vocational high school.
