Aerolearner,,, Thats the one, and I was told that at the time Airbus tried to ban it. I always remember Ziegler wagging his bandasged finger in the air and a cigarette hanging out his mouth.
Having checked my facts here is the entry in Wikipedia:
In August 1961 the Vallee Blanche Aerial Tramway was badly damaged when an aeroplane of the French Air Force piloted by Bernard Ziegler tore its hauling cable. Three cars crashed and six people were killed.[1][/I]
