Microwave Plastic 2010

late night

bed early (22 hours) in anticipation of the likely night flight. 3:10, the phone rings. 3:35, I arrive at Le Bourget and I prepared the aircraft. 5h, and off course for Britain.

Before the start of descent, I take the ATIS Quimper, which states that the glide is HS. A few minutes later, we reported Brest. This will be a LOC 28. The latest news and gives the SCT006 OVC016. We leave the couch, and I see pretty quickly ramp. Then I do not see her. Then I see her again. A few clouds between us and play the track. My captain asks the King Air 28 and we're going to park behind the RTA Britair of which embeds its last passengers.

there, I am pleased to cross Ronan, a young private pilot ordinated in Quimper, and future air traffic controller. We discussed a bit in the terminal, then I suggest he visit the Beech and made to sit in the left seat, while I sit with mine, right.

Then the doctor returned with the body, and here we go again, on a course that takes us almost vertically from the airport of Saint-Brieuc, on which the other must be in Beech stop .

ZOOMON a bit. Before us, just before the nose of the plane, Saint-Cast-le-Guildo and the peninsula of Saint-Jacut sea, and behind St. Lunaire and Dinard.

A little further, the tip of the Well, San Suliac, and Rance. I even saw the bridge over the N176, which connects the Ille et Vilaine and Cotes d'Armor, and I often borrowed to go to Paris and back, when I lived in Britain.

Once again, the west-facing configuration in paris. After a long round of the Paris region from the north, we are guided by De Gaulle to intercept the ILS 27 at Le Bourget. Under our wings, we admire the fall colors.

This photo (not taken against the prettiest, but I was busy before, so could not photograph) is taken just north-east of Meaux (seen above left), near Lizy on Ourcq, where the Marne (pictured) and the channel Ourcq (not seen but which is right) graze.

Bottom right, the houses belong to the village of the Isles Meldeuses (In case you have not noticed, I like to look for specific places where I took the pictures and names Sites photographed!)

Before the time change, it was common for the return flight missions are undertaken in body daily. It will be less the case this winter, but this time, thanks to the relatively late start, I have slept about 5 hours this night, which is not too bad, and the return was made entirely in daylight, the sun, which is nice.
