Fuselages made of composite are like plastic - I'm the Plastic Pilot who flies the plastic planes

This is my blog, and it's about modern general aviation, glass-cockpits, FADECs, but also aviation in general


New pages online

Have you noticed the new pages, in the links on top of this page ? The new ones are “Free for pilots“, and “Air accidents“. I hope the names are self-explanatory… The “About” page was also refreshed, and the “Archives” page is undergoing some work, which will last for a few days.



Where The Clouds Are Made

The Cloud FactoryThis picture has been taken at a very secret place, where the factory producing low level clouds for all Switzerland is located !

As you can see, the factory itself is hidden in fog, but on this particular day the exhaust pipes of Cloud Production Units 1 and 2 were just visible.

Ok, seriously now… these are the chimneys of a refuse incineration plant, which is located beside the Rhone river, south-west of Geneva.

On cold mornings of high-pressure, fog forms along the river, making it even more visible. As it is low level fog, the chimneys just get on top.
