As a result, ADP’s banning made still all the more precious the interest and benevolence that the French DGAC (eg the French Civil Aviation Authority) would then show to this work, through some of its representatives’ support. These executives proved to be sensitive to the scope of the Orly Heritage on the one hand, and on the other to my painting and what it expressed. DGAC gave a frank support to my work, and thus fulfilled my "Orly Airport dream".

It is in this context that I had the pleasure of meeting Frédéric Huslaing, one of the high-level managers of the Orly Airport Control Tower, who contacted me by email in early 2016, offering that we meet about my work in the perspective of the Jubilee of the Orly Control Tower, in the context of the planned official events that he was in charge of supervising.
What could I say about Frédéric Huslaing that could be as simple and straightforward as the man can be? Not much, except that the Orly-AG’s Head of Technical Department is a modest, quiet and low-key, benevolent and friendly man. I owe him so much -if not everything-, and he has proven his commitment to me time and time again, never failing in the support he had resolved to give to my Orly (Sud) dedicated work. Firstly, Frédéric Huslaing was able to interest the Orly Control Tower Director in my work. I thus had the pleasure of getting to know Françoise Fête, Orly Organization Chief by then. A sympathetic, frank and determined woman who fully supported our project. I owe Frédéric Huslaing and Françoise Fête my Airport exhibition, and in a way the second one that took place at the DGAC's afterwards. Of course, without forgetting other executives' role in the support and organization of that event -I am thinking here of François Richard-Bole and Ariane Gilotte, specifically. And obviously, since decisions of this type are seldom made by chance, it did not escape my attention that Patrick Gandil’s benevolence and that of Maurice George (each at the time respectively DGAC’s Chief Executive and Director of Air Navigation), were not unrelated to this support...
