Those two pictures have been added recently in the “photo galleries” section above. I take this opportunity to wish everyone Happy Holidays and hope that 2015 will be the year when some political leaders will finally “see the light” and start working seriously at reducing the carbon foot print of their country.

Update October 24, 2014

Hi,

here is a picture and an edited screen capture recently added on the site (among about ten new pictures). During the next few days, two articles will be published on 1) Bletchley Park and 2) the trip (with pictures) of a VFR flight from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, to Edmonton, Alberta, trip that was done in 1981 with an old Cessna 170B.

Have a good visit,

François

The nice problem with the flight simulator is that there are lots of interesting planes and sceneries available from around the world. Virtual pilots benefit from a huge variety of products. In general, flights made either at dusk or dawn benefit from a special light. For the actual flight with the Sikorsky, I went for a cool light so that the military helicopter would not look too inviting.
