Filmography

A professional activity about old aviation that has been in the family since 1919 with Jean-Baptiste Salis,
and that keep going through time and generations, in the air and workshops.

In workshops :

Our workshops are always busy with plane maintenance for flights. The second main activity is restoration. These activities have been kept alive by Jean Baptiste Salis then his son Jean Salis and now his grand-son Baptiste Salis.

Also : construction or reconstruction activity mostly for museums, collectors and movies requests.
