Friday Photo: the Swiss Alps

Click on image for full size.

The view: Swiss Alps seen from the south of Germany

The airplane: Tecnam P2010

The pilot: Laurent Zuber

The mission: IFR flight from Basel, Switzerland, to Mengen, Germany.

The memory: The weak sun of October had not completely removed the fog in the south of the Black Forest and over Switzerland. The Alps were sticking out of the cloud layer in the South. The air was smooth at FL090. I was crossing the arrival sectors of Zurich and the controllers had given me the most direct route that I could dream of.
