When we transport of organs is carried out flights that are not defined, not planned in advance. It is therefore advised at the last moment, and mostly at night. We have the pleasure of being woken by the phone, it can be as midnight to 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. As a volunteer firefighter, I usually (and the ringing of the phone is sweet music compared to the shrill sound of the beep).
That evening I went to bed at 22 o'clock. When the phone wakes me up, I look at the time projected on the ceiling by my alarm clock: 3:10. So I slept about five hours, which is not so bad. 3:30, arrive at Le Bourget. I take my bag in the trunk, passes the post-inspection filtering (PIF) in welcoming the two agents. The aircraft is parked in front of operations. I open the door, I got in, I put my bag and ... my phone rings.
is my captain.
- Olivier ... Where are you?
- At Le Bourget, I just get on the plane.
- Ha ... Well, the mission is aborted.
- Super ...
I hung up, I take my bag, I get off the plane and shut the door. I meet another captain Beech happens to go with the other King Air, get another body in another city. And I leave my house. At 4 o'clock I'm in my bed. At 5 o'clock the phone rings: "Oliver, we take off at 6:30!" Here we go again!
We're going to Lyon, and given the hour, it will not Bron and Saint-Exupéry as usual. I send a mail to my pilot friends Lyon, and I take the car.
As I said in my previous post, one often has the opportunity to enjoy the sunrise during the return flight missions organs. It's much rarer to see him go up on the branch, but this was the case Saturday morning:
It is 7:45 when I ask the Beech on runway 16 at Lyon-Bron, who is still self-info at that early hour. The doctors are leaving, and we'll walk to the Kyriad for eating breakfast. Then returns to the general aviation terminal where we joined a friend Pilotlist. He takes us to see the planes in the hangar, then we'll take a glass plate in the restaurant field, where we joined a couple of pilot friends.
We return to the terminal, where we are joined by two other friends, and it takes all these people visit the aircraft. We're at that point 8 on board, and there is still room for three passengers! Doctors call, and I must take leave after that time very pleasant: it's much nicer to wait in talking with friends that sleeping in an airplane while cold!
Planes slight turn in 16, but the controller is proposing to take off at 34 to save time. He lengthened the tail wind for our departure. One of my friends just after we shoot the rotation:

During the return flight I AM (Pilot Monitoring). I take the ATIS Bourget, and I told my captain: "Done ugly!" In Lyon, we had beautiful sunshine and 18 degrees, but at Le Bourget, it is only 12 degrees, overcast, there are 2000 meters visibility and mist! I take some pictures when we arrived on the ILS 27, and in fact, the visibility is not great.
was almost hard to see the south doublet Roissy!
It improves a bit in coming short final, although we still have a bit of cloud on virtually glide just before the A1 motorway.
