FLIGHT DETAILS
Standards are an integral part of aviation safety, whether it’s using standard phraseology when communicating on the radio or adhering to international standards for air regulations.
On May 20, 1875, one of the most important standards was established. Representations from several nations met in Paris, France to sign the Treaty of the Metre, the convention that established metric units as the international standard for mass and length. Subsequent developments led to the creation of the SI system, international standards that govern all major weights and measures.
In recognition of this world-changing event, this week’s flight will depart from Paris-Le Bourget and fly over many famous Parisian landmarks such as Sacré-Cœur, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and the home of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Saint-Cloud, France. 
For auto racing fans, our flight will also include a flyover of the Circuite de la Sarthe, home of the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, one-third of the Triple Crown of Motorsport.
