returns to the skies.<\/p>\n<p>After years of patience, resilience, and quiet work, this moment is finally here.<br data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"451\" \/>Not as a simple reopening \u2014 but as the result of a collective effort carried by belief, loyalty, and commitment.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the years, the Aeroclub never truly disappeared.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;The Aeroclub\u00a0lived

data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"782\" \/>Through a team that continued to work, step by step, to bring it back to life.<\/p>\n<p>And through the leadership of Mr. Michel Abboud, whose determination never faltered, and whose vision guided this long journey back.<\/p>\n<p>Today, that effort becomes reality.<\/p>\n<p>Engines start again.<br data-start=\"1050\" data-end=\"1053\" \/>Aircraft return to the runway.<br data-start=\"1083\" data-end=\"1086\" \/>Students come back.<br data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1108\" \/>Pilots reconnect with what brings them together.<\/p>\n<p>But more
