Scheduled and authorized flight

The town hall of Niort and the prefecture of Deux-Sèvres confirm that it is a fighter plane which has passed the sound barrier above the Niort aerodrome.

This flight was scheduled and authorized by the military authorities to fly over Niort and its surroundings. “In flight at level 420 (about 14,000 meters), it caused a deafening noise and a feeling of earthquake or explosion depending on the location, over part of the city. The cold and dry weather allowed the shock wave to spread rapidly and intensely “, indicates the town hall of Niort in a press release.

This plane left the Brive sector to go to Brittany.

Once the explanation was given, the information did not fail to react with humor on social networks.
