On March 27, at the age of 95, [Michel Bacos died](https://www.npr.org/2019/03/30/708229313/opinion-remembering-pilot-michel-bacos-hero-of-the-1976-entebbe-hijacking). He was the pilot of the Air France plane hijacked to Entebbe in 1976. When the hijackers told him and the flight crew to leave with the non-Jewish hostages, Bacos, once a Free French fighter, told them “no”. He and his crew remained with the Jewish hostages until the Israeli forces rescued them. ---
