Family of Jazz Aviation Hero Pilot Antoine Forest Speaks Out, Shares Heartwarming Childhood Photo

“They saved everybody on that plane… I think they are honestly heroes.”

While the public focused on those final actions inside the cockpit, a quieter, more intimate story began to unfold elsewhere.

A day after the crash, one of the pilots was identified as Antoine Forest. The name quickly moved from official reports into something far more personal when his brother, Cédric Forest, shared a message online that shifted the narrative entirely.

Alongside a childhood photo of the two brothers, he wrote:

“Have a safe flight, my brother! Oh yes, we’ve often heard that phrase, but this time will be the last… Gone again in the wind too soon to say goodbye… I love you brother… you can leave with your head held high.”
