Really really freaky coincidence about the missing AF flight...
And I am double posting this onto Newsstand.....
It would seem that few people have been to Fernando De Noronha. I have. There is a great beach in the Northern part of the island, NE probably, it has been named locally for many decades AIR FRANCE BEACH, because that is where many years ago AF flights would stop for provisions. Very Freaky....

Yes, I have been to Fernando de Noronha (holiday with French friends, actually) and know the beach ... I remember we were amused by the fact (it was actually the Compagnie Genérale Aeropostale before Air France that was present on the island, at least that's what outr hotel owner told us).
hfly, I think you read French, and I think you will enjoy this article from today's Le Monde about the history of French aviation and Fernando de Noronha:
