Guinness World Records has been travelling around Europe filming some of the continent’s most astonishing record holders.

In Savigny-Les-Beaune, Burgundy, France, Guinness World Records’ video team paid a visit to winemaker Michel Pont.

The French winemaker holds the title for the largest private collection of fighter jets in the world. Michel Pont, a vintner who lives in the Burgundy region of France, grows grapes for wine and collects fighter jets. Pont’s collection includes airplanes from the dawn of the Jet Age, such as the Royal Air Force’s Meteor fighter, all the way up to the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

Burgundy may be known for its wine, but it's what's nestled between the vines that draws the tourists to this vineyard: The world's largest private fleet of fighter jets, 110 in all. It's not your typical collection, but 87-year-old Michel Pont is not your typical collector.

"I was born passionate and a bit crazy," Pont says pointing to his head. Pont revealed that he caught the collector's bug while in the French Air Force, and started buying the jets 30 years ago to save them from being destroyed.

And that attracts the crowds of tourists interested in wine and war. Military bases in France are closed to the public, so this gives people a chance to see the planes up close.

This isn't just a massive display of weapons of war, each jet tells an individual story. Like the F-8 Crusader known as the last American gunfighter that squared off against the MIG-17 in the skies over Vietnam.

The American jets in particular are special to Pont. "It's thanks to the Americans and Brits that we were liberated from the Nazis," Pont said. "So I enjoy displaying this American pride and honor."
