About Me:: A.K.A : Mr Météo

Your Safety, that is all that counts !!!!

3 Festivals a year in the Québec Province, my job is to collect, analyse and present Weather Briefings in French and English in front of hundreds of Pilots, Crews and Officials in 5 minutes.
Since I consider each and every one of them as a friend.there is no room for errors.

Some wants to know if the Flag is Green or Red and others wants to know why.
Fog, Low Clouds, Big Clouds,Visibility, Precipitation and Winds are quite a challenge to forecast with accuracy.
Flight time is stressful. What will happens to my friends if the winds picks up, if the clouds builds up rapidly. if the fog rolls in and so on.
But, when I walk in the crowd and see these thousands of spectators ''émerveillés'' by this wunderful spectacle, I am really proud to be part of it.
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer.

Rest in peace.
