Passionate about everything that flies, I am especially amazed by the beauty of the Old Lady, the DC-3. This year I will be even more fond of Her as she will transport our Team around the World.
Leaving my Airbus A320 job twice this year to join the wonderful Team of Breitling for an exquise travel through time and memories.

<span style="font-size: large;">Just like a new beginning, the very last flight was a return to Geneva. After 6 months of flying east, the airplane came back to Geneva from West! Actually they went to Italy to meet up with Katsu and the Frecce Tricolori, the Italian display Team! They flew then via the Rhone Valley in order to meet up with the French Team before heading towards GVA. It is then a flight from west coming from south!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A warm and nice welcome to our home base for HB-IRJ with water canon salute and especially a fantastic coincidence for me. I had to fly for my Airline, easyJet Switzerland that day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Upon checkin in for our flight, the airplane we were supposed to fly was delayed for about 1 hour. This made my day for once!! I could then join the arrival of HB-IRJ on the tarmac and greet Francisco and Roger Mills, Roger being the fastest DC-3 pilot as he also flew Concorde from 1987 to 2000 for British Airways. Great to meet everyone on the tarmac of "our" airport!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The following days were spent in Sion for the last Breitling meeting. Many displays of great venue and also some DC-3 flight flown with Roger and Francisco. It all went smooth and brought to an end an incredible adventure.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Duxford to Biggin Hill. How could you have ever imagined doing this in 2017 in a DC-3 with a group of fantastic friends?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In my career so far, never could I have ever dreamed hard enough. This was the last ever flight for me of this amazing trip, a trip going back to 2015 when I type rated on the DC-3. This timepiece brought us back in time like never before. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was the first time in history a DC-3 made a Round the World Tour and probably the last time also. To be a member of this closed community makes me peaceful and happy. In order to finish this part of the Tour, landing in Biggin Hill was almost necessary. This famous airfield is well known to any aviator who can relate to historical flights. Now it is a small place south east of London where quite a lot of business jets land. The day ended with some tearful goodbyes to our team members but also to HB-IRJ, the Grand Old Lady. At this time I had no clue wether I would be flying again this admirable airplane. So yes, a dream came true and now it is time to say "Au revoir".</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good to know if you ever want to buy some present in the form of wine or spirit for a later time in the day, at least in Scotland, before 10am it is prohibited! So no way we could get some refreshments for our guest on board towards Duxford. Yes, you read it correctly, flying to Duxford today!! Such a great coastal flight and the icing on the cake is a landing at one of the most renowned place for Aviation. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then off we went to Downtown Cambridge in a nice hôtel where we spend two great days, relaxing and visiting the Imperial War Museum. Many good pictures but too many for this blog. We also did some planning for our guest leaving either back to the USA or going to France from Biggin Hill either with an airline ticket or with the DC-3. Seems easy when you travel yourself with easyJet or any other airline but when you have to deal yourself with customs its something different.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After the incredible previous evening flight which gave us sparkles in our eyes for the rest of our lives, it was now time to pack again our DC-3 and this time we really made sure the short runway of REY could accommodate our heavy loaded (no offence Bastien!) airplane.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The views after take off until we headed towards the sea and Wick in Scotland were breathtaking. We overflew Selfoss, then climbed above the Eyjafjallajokull, the volcano that erupted once agin in 2010 and rendered almost impossible any european flights nor any transatlantic ones. Again, some pictures speak for a thousand words.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So the day arrived, the before last transatlantic crossing for our DC-3 tour. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before heading to the airport, I tried to file a flight plan but it wasn't easy at all due to the bad internet connection at the hotel. You need a voucher to access it and it costs about 10$ for like 1 hour without being a stable connection. Anyway, so we tried to do our best checking the weather and for the flight plan filing, we simply went up the tower and asked the controller to file it for us. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When you cross towards Iceland, you mostly keep VHF connection all the way due to the numerous relays. The only trouble is that you must file via certain waypoints and should make a position report over it. Great news, radar coverage is so poor they might be hearing you but they surely aren't able to watch you. Therefore if you need to avoid some weather or don't want to fly north after having passed at the southern tip of Greenland, no one is able to say anything!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So we made our way to our Gooney Bird and loaded all the bags in the cabin and in the back loading area. Everything was running smoothly, as we expected to land before airport closure of downtown Reykjavik, we were on a schedule but not in a hurry. This wasn't counting on the obvious mechanical issue that will only arise the day you need to fly because weather is becoming bad for the rest of the week! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ready to start, Cisco flying again as Pilot Monitoring and therefore starting the right engine. The left one was already running smoothly when...pushing the start button, nothing happened, not one prop turning on the right side! Was it an hydraulic lock? Not possible because it never turned a single inch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then trying again, only to watch incredulously that those propellers were actually going to coarse pitch instead of turning! Our starter button acts now on the propeller pitch?!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shut down and a hurry into the terminal to ask to delay the flight plan and also if the local maintenance could come and help us with some extra tools. Markus is already opening the cowling when I come back and Cisco is on the phone with Paul, happily sleeping some 6 hours back in time from Greenland. Well, now he isn't sleeping anymore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately Paul advise us of the modification that American Airlines did on their DC-3's, they installed a relay in the wheel well which either acts as the started or the pitch control of the props. A quick cleaning of it, a little slam from the hammer and.... it works!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Just enough delay to make us sweat a bit trying to pick up the lost time in order to arrive before 10 pm in Iceland, before the high winds and especially the runway closure!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The rest of the flight was just a smooth one with the occasional showery weather you might encounter over the Atlantic during the summer, fortunately without having any thunderstorm nearby. The only part which mad eye sweat more was the landing that day, stormy weather with some strong wind upon landing in Rey! Here is the video of it, thank's Markus!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The following day we basically only took a day off, weather wise it wasn't the best and we wanted to have some time off for ourselves after this great adventure. We also picked up Bastien Otelli, writer and photographer for (in extenso) Piloter Magazine. The wonderful article is available at the end of this blog. Bastien is also a larger than life person and his good sense of humour will last long in my memory. Here is a picture of our group dinner in one of the best restaurant downtown.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The best way to start a morning in Greenland is to look at your watch. Why that? Simply because with such a northern latitude you could easily wake up and believe its 8am when in fact it is still well into the night. In Narsarsuaq it's not really up to that point because its location is more south than Reykjavik for instance. This land extend so much south-north its incredible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So after a good breakfast in our hotel, we decided to take a tour in the middle of the glacier mouth. The isolated place renders some amazing pure ice and with the air trapped inside, gives a bluish appearance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The icing on the cake is, some vodka with a direct ice supply from the nearby ice cube! A delight and a good time sharing this with our DC-3 friends.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The next day, once those cocktails evaporated from us, we went for a little take off and landing with a great fly-by over the airport in order for Greg to film us like if we would be arriving, all this for his movie which we are all eager to watch. Here are some footage from inside, I had the pleasure to be flying this under the good advice from Cisco.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It was such a nice experience, making tight turns in the fjord.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Again, in the evening, we all went to our now favourite restaurant and had the same dinner as the previous evening, treating ourselves to some good times.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The next day we will have our second crossing, the one that will bring us to Reykjavik, already looking forward for this flight.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As you all know by now, flying, even when fatigued, doesn't bother me at all. Of course when you have to fly an airliner 4 legs a day and be responsible for the safety of all passengers you have to limit yourself to the federal limitations and also look at your personal fitness level. If you cannot deal with it then you have to call unfit to fly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In our operation with the the DC-3, the stamina level is so high you might actually think you are OK to fly although you feel tired. So when I woke up this morning of the 24th August under a thick fog layer, I wasn't ready for more sleep. In the contrary, with only 4 hours of sleep I've never felt more ready to wake up and fly!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Little did I know at that time that I would visit this place again 2 years after for an other Atlantic crossing with a US airplane and its crew, going for a stroll across to celebrate the 75th D-Day anniversary.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So back on track and this time for THIS crossing. We prepared thoroughly our HB-IRJ in order to set up our two GNS430 GPSs and the third VFR GNS 695 that enables us to navigate with a fantastic terrain database. It wasn't really helpful crossing the Pacific as well...you mostly have water and our destination Shemya was a small flat island but here, going towards Greenland we surely preferred to have this backup. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, the crew and bags on board, it was time to ask for the oceanic clearance departing CYYR (Happy Valley/Goose Bay) towards BGBW (Narsarsuaq). All levels at or above FL060 require a clearance, a routing, a speed or for those flying above a Mach number to keep and an HF radio. Those very specific requirements enable radio operator to communicate with airplane in non VHF environment but the radio is of very bad quality. For those who want more theory behind this, please visit <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_frequency">this wikipedia link</a> .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Basically we agreed on the route and speed and level but hey, no radar means we can navigate according the freezing level. Safety first. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After getting through the fog layer, here is the amazing sunrise in front of us. Flying east towards the sun, a beautiful sight.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">During that crossing we weren't a tiny bit worried about endurance or payload as we didn't need our special bladder tanks like during the pacific crossing. however we encountered some weather enroute, especially approaching the greenland coast. As some of you might know, we check METARs and TAFs before we fly. Those TAFs are generally quite accurate in most part of the World whereas the ones issued for Greenland can change completely avec short after being issued. The one we had called for a nice scattered clouds at hight altitude for our arrival time. This is what we had only about 80 miles ashore.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Pretty much scary isn't it? At our low altitude we weren't able to speak to any controller from Narsarsuaq nor on VHF to Gander or Nuuk. Therefore we tried on 123.45 the international chatter frequency. An American Airlines hight above us got our request finally and was able to relay our demand for some weather update. To our relief, the actual weather at destination wasn't too bad. After some 20 minutes we finally came out of the worst weather and the coast appeared ahead in our line of sight.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The glaciers that span mostly north of Narsarsuaq bring some cold air downstream from their ice cap and for that reason, moisture usually form as fog patches along the fjords. Luckily we made it just before rain came and bad weather would force us for a two nights stop. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We were able to make a visual approach, coming in to land for a short final after a crooked right base. What a feeling. Landing onto the base called Bluie West 1 during WW2. At that time airplanes weren't able to fly across the Atlantic without an intermediate stop enroute between Canada, the USA and Iceland. Mostly had a stopover in Nars as they called internally or Bluie West 1 as it was officially called to prevent giving up names to the enemy. After landing, Bob, who was carrying bags more than a 747 can carry and our troop deplaned, heading towards our nice place for two nights, the...you named it, Narsarsuaq Hotel!</span><br />

Our tight schedule did not allow us to do much as we had to plan our next flight but on the "off" day we saw some incredible landscape. See you tomorrow!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was not so sure we would be able to enjoy the day in the air that much initially. In fact some big thunderstorms were arriving the night before and fortunately passed over quicker than planned so the next day a tad bit cooler air was flowing from the north east and clearer than planned sky welcomed us at Teterboro (TEB) Signature flight support. We also met Bob, an American gentleman who made his fortune in Treadmills and Bio food. I will not say his age here but to let you know, he was already a 10 years old child when the DC-3 first made his maiden flight. In shape he is!</span></div>

Francisco did his licences here in the 90's and I had the chance to fly an International Air Rally back in 2004 with Samuel, who will be my best man for our wedding planned in February 2018. It is also with a good laugh that we listen to Québec airport ATIS (Automated Terminal Information Service) in french, stating the different clouds present within the Terminal Control Area of the airport.

<span style="font-size: large;">After a windy approach and a well deserved stop for lunch at nearby Archibald micro brewery, we went back to the airport and refuelled for what would be also a memorable trip along the St-Lawrence river direction Sept-Îles and then Goose Bay. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Goose Bay is a well know airport for the actual pilots who fly small airplane across the Atlantic as a well deserved and maintained airfield. It is a military base and therefore its runway and apron are free of snow year round and the supply of Avgas, oil, maintenance and hotel accommodation is plenty. Our flight time between Québec and Goose Bay was estimated to approximately 4h10 minutes. A fairly long flight finally. Weather was good, windy but fair and only upon approaching Goose Bay did we encounter some thunderstorms close to the approach course. We had to ask for radar vectors and fly and IFR approach to brake out of rain and clouds at 1500 feet/450 meters above the ground. By the time we landed it was completely dark outside and both the runway without center light and the dark apron was a surprise to us. We parked the airplane, went to the nearby shop to rent our dinghies and installed the small bladder tank for an extra 45 minutes of Avgas for our next day crossing. In Goose Bay Greg will leave us and fly back to his next adventure, it would be not before Reykjavik that we will meet him again. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was finally time to be close to HB-IRJ again. Before meeting up with Francisco and Gaby who flew her from Boston to Teterboro, Marie and I were enjoying a full week of holidays that took us from New York towards Boston along the coast. A fantastic trip with some funny memories. Notwithstanding the fact that on August 15, our first day in New York, I invited Marie to the Rainbow Room on 65th Floor of Rockefeller Center. A small ring was hidden inside her purse and we got engaged that night.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After our tour on the east coast and a fantastic two days stay in Boston, it was time to fly back to New York for me and to Geneva for Marie. Interestingly, our two planes were departing just minutes appart, I was able to accompany my future wife to her departure gate, thanks to the kind TSA agent and thereafter join my gate for the United flight to Newark. I chose Newark in New Jersey rather than JFK in New York for the simple fact that HB-IRJ was stationed at Teterboro which lies a couple miles away from EWR (Newark). A short cab drive away and here I was with our Breitling Team, Francisco, Gaby, Greg and I. They just completed an amazing flight over the Hudson river, fortunately not splashing like Captain Sullenberger in 2009. Here are a couple shots from their exploit</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The next day we met Mireille and Markus, two Aviation passionate persons who also work for the Super Constellation Flyers association in Switzerland and who were our guest as passengers across the futur ocean crossing we had ahead of us. They joined us that evening of the 22nd August in central New York at the Breitling shop where a big event was held. Many watch collectors were invited and we could have some nice conversations with them about what we already did across the Pacific and what were the challenges and difficulties of flying such an old bird across the World. We also went to Time Square to shoot some cool pictures wearing our full uniforms! Time Square where Marie and I were exactly 1 week before ;-)</span><br />

One might even say I've started to understand how aviation works by reading enthusiastically each magazine.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So yes, you might still be able to get an issue of this wonderful article written by Eric Auxier. 5 pages of pictures and a sense of writing few people have.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Eric has put into his latest <a href="https://www.amazon.com/There-Wuz-IV-Adventures-Decades/dp/B078TPVFKS">"There I Wuz IV"</a> book the entire article written for Airways as well as some articles I did about flying the DC-3 and also how to become an Airline Pilot in Europe, my personal story of all the struggles back in 2001-2007 when the Airlines were furloughing more people each month.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So yes, that was an epic flight to Aurora. I was so happy to have Eric on board and leaving a dream of mine, to be part of an article in that famous magazine, the one that made me realise how much I'd love Aviation. You can also follow this part of the flight on <a href="http://capnaux.com/jumpseating-breitling-dc-3-part-1/">Eric's blog</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you Eric, thank you Enrique Perrella and your Team who took over Airways Magazine a couple of years ago and made it even more AvGeek (was it possible??!).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Of this particular part of our flight to Aurora, I'll let you have a look at Eric own blog also, you can enjoy <a href="http://capnaux.com/jumpseating-breitling-dc-3-part-2/">part 2 </a>and <a href="http://capnaux.com/jumpseating-breitling-round-world-dc-3-part-3/">part 3</a> with many pictures and videos! No wonder Eric's blog has been awarded a medal in the Top 60 Pilot Blog, this is just awesome, congrats Cap'n Aux!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Upon landing (and finally greasing it, unlike the previous one in Olympia where I could log 3 landings...), it was time to say goodbye to HB-IRJ and drive towards Portland so that Eric could catch a flight to Phoenix. I was also due for an early morning flight back to Geneva, Switzerland, eager to see my girlfriend Marie and work a bit. Yes, I need to work sometimes, and it is always pure joy to be back on an Airbus A320 cockpit. The muscle work isn't the same but in contrary to what people would think, the flying part and skills required to manage the flight path of the airplane is exactly the same. Just like it was 77 years ago (albeit with some help from the Flight Management Systems who suggest the best path to follow!)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'll be back on track with the Douglas DC-3, HB-IRJ, in full Breitling colours from August 2017 joining the Team in New York. In the meantime, our beloved aircraft has some maintenance work to be done on her and my fellow colleagues will take her across the USA to several spots, including Oshkosh, Wisconsin, THE Aviation meeting in the World.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On the morning of the 12th Paul and I discussed our day plan. It was quite simple. Go to the airport, continue cleaning the beautiful plane that brought us here and then, at the end of the day, weather permitting (and it was promising!), fly in formation with Paul Briede and John Parker next to their Bonanza around Mount Rainier! Before going in the air we made a careful briefing with everyone involved. Especially making sure we have the correct frequency air to air, the airspace available for the pictures and a backup plan in case we need to abort.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After this memorable flight, still with sparkles in my eyes and not really realising what we just did, we fuelled the airplane and made it ready for its next day as we had finally our journalists on board. By the time we came back on the ground, my friend and author Eric Auxier (remember the famous book "The Last Bush Pilots"??!) was landing at SeaTac on the second jumpseat of an Alaskan Boeing 737! Francisco was very nice to invite Eric to join us on the journalist flight and also letting him ride to Aurora for the last flight before the maintenance program! Eric was delighted, he is so enthusiastic about everything that flies that he asked Airways Magazine for a possible article on HB-IRJ! And he was here for this! We met at Boeing Field and Eric stayed at the same hotel as us. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When people talk about airliners the most common word which comes to their mouth is "Boeing"! So when I tell people what my job is, too often they think I am flying a big Boeing. Well, I am sorry folks, I only fly a European designed wonderful piece of machinery called Airbus A320! But yes, if I could choose, I would also fly a Boeing. It seems those airplanes fly better, are aimed towards Pilots, just like the DC-3 is!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And today Ladies and Gentlemen, we are going to the place where it all begun for The Boeing Company. Not landing at Seattle Tacoma nor Everett, rather choose KBFI or Boeing Field! Carefully planning our route today as going towards such a congested airspace needs some study of charts. And since our lovely DC-3 started to get angry with its transponder altitude encoding, we might be facing with a no-go from air traffic control. So here come the question, should we be honest and tell them or...?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We were in between then. I filed a flight plan stating our transponder works fine and Paul called the flight services in order to advise them of the erratic functioning of mode C (the altitude mode of the transponder). They were fine with it, as long as we make sure to stick to our assigned altitudes! This is what we normally plan on doing anyway!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But before reaching Seattle, we still had to fly south and without any or very few contacts with ATC. Also like always in those areas, the weather to get out of the fjords wasn't perfect at all. Low clouds were present in the morning of our departure. Checking windyty this is what we had</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Rain and low clouds. The good thing is that the forecast showed us an improvement for the later stage of the day. As we had more than 5 hours of flight time planned for the day everything could change. Fortunately it did! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And then we approached our destination, Seattle, with a lot of chatter on the frequency today, basically flying from north you have to cross Everett and Seattle Tacoma airspaces and to say busy isn't any euphemism! We could see airplanes flying everywhere in every directions, landing lights ON!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Arriving into Seattle Boeing Field was a dream of mine, just like was Anchorage. We arrived via Victoria VOR (YYJ) west of Vancouver and avoiding Paine Field (Everett), we made our way towards Elliott Bay pointing towards the <a href="https://www.spaceneedle.com/home/">Space Needle</a> for a right downwind to runway 32L at Boeing Field. A very precise flight path needs to be flown in order to keep away from Renton (another Boeing factory) which stands south south east of Boeing Field. The fact is, when you fly on the left and you make a right hand downwind, you are pretty unsure of when you should turn. For instance I had the chance of having Paul sitting right next to me to guide us for the approach. This place is his play field in the end!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On downwind you find yourself on a small ridge and finally very low compared to the ground but high regarding final approach. Together with a pretty bumpy ride it was interesting to say the least. We made a couple of my signature "s" on the runway, still unsure of my landing technique on the Gooney Bird!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The next day, on the 11th June, I spent most of my day at the Museum of Flight located right across our DC-3 on the ramp. This is a pretty big museum and houses many many airplanes all of them having made history in aviation. First of all the Boeing Plant 1 still sits were it was built and one can see interesting features of early Boeing models. Then you have the first 747 that took flight on the 9th February 1969. The 747 changed the way we travel today, just like the DC-3 changed it more than 30 years before the 747!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you ever find yourself in the Seattle area then don't hesitate to take time and go to the museum. Peter and Alex enjoyed it like crazy. Paul went also with his two kids!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was also necessary to clean the airplane a bit before our flight on the 13th with journalists. So Paul and I went the afternoon until late to bring a new look at the airplane. Of course we hadn't cleaned anything since Japan!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The day ended with some good talk about aviation around a nice cold beer. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our stop in Anchorage also meant to visit around a little bit. Sure our plans got screwed and we were already back at the FBO the next morning, having had only very few moment to place a call with my tender love. Marie, if you read me, please forgive me. I know, out of sight and lost in the Pacific Ocean for 3 days and the only call we did was in the hotel lobby, full of people around. Though life!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The good thing about meeting civilization again is that we also were able to get a couple passengers with us! First of all we met Greg again who was joining us from Europe in order to make his video shootings and also Céline, Francisco's girlfriend. Alex, an aviation passionate, enthusiast and sim fan who also helps for the DC-3 operation joined us. Our star du jour is nevertheless Peter H. Peter being tied to aviation for ever, having climbed up the ladder to his actual position as CEO of TAAG Angola! He is the one who started it all at Emirates. A truly great Gentleman who knows so much about the aviation World and who can manage an airline. Wow! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So there we are, standing again at PANC in the early morning hours glued to our iPhones and iPads checking weather and routing possibilities for our flight to Juneau (PAJN). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Juneau is the capital city of Alaska since 1906, located in the Gastineau Channel at the bottom of the Mendenhall Glacier which is, by the way and by every mean very sad, retreating. To get there you have very few options. The first is by boat and the second, well, by air! No roads link this state Capital to any road system, and this makes it for a very particular city.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The airport of Juneau is also a particular one, ask every Alaskan pilot and they will tell you how many hours they've spent waiting in the lounge for better weather, both to get in and out of this place! The approach itself is a crooked one that lingers through fjords and meander up to the Decision Point where you either go around or continue your descent to land. Look at this approach chart and for those of you who can read IFR charts you'll get the idea. It is also pretty self explanatory for the others who have no aviation clue, but what would you read this blog then? Haha!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So this is for the runway 08 approach that passes over a hill on finals. The other side is a circling approach that is flown by visual means all the way and Paul Bazeley who was the PF for this leg did a beautiful job. More of this later as now you probably want to see all these incredibles pictures from our PANC-PAJN flight. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We departed Anchorage towards Homer and Port Graham at the very end of the Cook Inlet, exactly the routing we flew the day before. Some low clouds were floating below us and from Port Graham we even had some rain showers on the way. To avoid most of them we made our way closer towards the coast and its gigantic glaciers! There are some amazing pictures.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Once we landed I felt what the real Alaskan Aviation was like. Planes on floats! At Juneau, there isn't only one runway, the water runway is adjacent to the main concrete runway however they purposely dig a channel like water runway! How cool is this? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This totally reminded me of Eric Auxier's famous novel, "The Last Bush Pilots". Eric is an American Airline Captain who is a famous blog writer and who published many books also. You probably have heard or even read the books "There I Wuz" (many many volumes!) and I'll keep a surprise for the future blog stories because, oh, well, I shut up otherwise you'll know everything! If you want to check Eric's blog, please follow this link </span><a href="http://capnaux.com/">Cap'n Aux</a><span style="font-size: large;"> and you'll find many interesting stories and articles about Aviation. A must for every serious pilot out there!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A big part of Eric experience was made just about here in Juneau and in the whole area as he was himself a Bush Pilot for many years, gaining valuable experience in these places that have weather that changes every 5 minutes! You could be going on a clear day out 50 miles and be not able to come back as when the wind changes, the cold air from nearby glaciers can make the air condensate rapidly and fog then reduces the visibility drastically. You deserve to be a real <i>cheechacko!</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we were anyway facing a cold front overnight, it was time for a good rest before heading downtown Juneau for a well deserved dinner! And where did we go? To the Red Dog Saloon of course!! If you ever read the book "The Last Bush Pilots" you'll know why we went there!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Once upon a time, when I was young(er), I dreamt about flying a plane to Anchorage. The sole fact of reading somewhere "PANC", which is the 4 letters ICAO code for Anchorage Ted-Stevens, and I started to have images floating just before my forehead of big 747s landing there, making a tech stop between the USA and Japan and, therefore, the rest of the World. So imagine now, a couple decades later, I was about to be the one landing there, on a DC-3, my mind was racing and so my heart did.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Rather early wake up then, bearing in mind the fabulous but rather exhausting day that we had just before. 7.15am it was, foggy outside is was also...wiping the clouds out of my eyes I barely could find a good spot with wifi connexion that enabled me to have a look at the weather and especially the forecast. The first impression of it was that we should basically fly north of the island chaplet and then cross towards the Gulf of Cook to fly onwards to Anchorage. But how shall we cross if the weather doesn't allow us? Plan A could become plan B and plan C and... The generous owner of the Bearfoot Inn drove us to the airport and while doing so, made a tour of the tiny Cold Bay village. An ancien WWII canon was still there, obviously rotten by the weather since then.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When we arrived at the airport, Paul and myself split the job while Francisco had to place a couple calls regarding future Breitling events. I went to the FSS (Flight Service Station) to check the weather more carefully with hopefully a better internet connexion. The FSS guy was pretty busy, although very helpful and at the same time as listening to many many calls coming from relays all over the territory he could also click and select the transmitter to use while taking my flight plan and giving me a weather brief. What about "service" in Europe?? These people are truly great.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So when approaching the Graal, Anchorage for instance, we started to become quite tired, after all these flights you can probably imagine. Rain started to reduce </span><span style="font-size: large;">somewhat the forward visibility but once closer to the airport it was again better, cloudy but manageable!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We got integrated by ATC between some liners and right behind us, a Hughes H-4 Hercules landed, showing its smoky engines until touchdown. On some rough terrain, it is quite important to have a rugged airplane that can sustain such conditions. The Hercules does its job very well and despite sucking on fuel, there is no real (cheap) replacement at the moment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One interesting story is that we had to clear US customs in Anchorage despite having been already 2 days on US territory! So we parked at the special spot near customs and had to wait until CBP officers entered the airplane. Some questions later we had to go inside, escorter by the handling in order to get our passeport stamped. They were nice so no big trouble. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Wake up early in Japan and you will be greeted by a beautiful sunrise, even at 3.50am! So forgetting to close the window blind and you will enjoy this in your bed, thinking you missed the alarm clock by 2 hours! This was me, on the 6th June. A good start.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Realizing my mishap, I went back to bed, my brain spinning like a overspeeding propeller and not able to go back to sleep. So here I am, looking at </span><span style="color: #0000ee; font-size: large;"><u>windyty</u> </span><span style="font-size: large;">not believing my eyes. I am probably still asleep. The low pressure made its way further north, giving us a great window if we can depart at 7pm and land in Shemya close to 12am. Almost no wind for take off but a cool atmosphere and good visibility. Probably no cloud for the first 3 hours during the night over the Pacific and only light rain then after. The only concern with all that preparation is the icing level that will be close to 2500ft. This won't give us much margin to play with, either fly low and see something or IMC but close to icing conditions. And as I previously said, our DC-3 isn't equipped with anti icing nor any de icing capabilities. So the first thing to do, plan, do the flight plan for the route to be flown. I love using skyvector, a very good program that shows airways, waypoints, Flight Information Regions as well as calculates the enroute time according the forecasted winds. It is good to compare with the Windyty application and by the way, this is something we did the past four days to make sure we will be accurate. Pressure settings for instance are of utmost importance when flying over such a great distance (1300 NM or equivalent to 2350 km). Especially when flying low. The only source of height information is the pressure you set on the altimeter. You set for instance sea level pressure of 1023 hPa but the actual outside pressure is 1000 hPa, you will read 1000 feet but the real altitude or in this case height above sea level will be only 380 feet. So imagine if you descent to an indicated altitude of 600 feet? You are basically touching the water, at night, in Instrument weather condition. Not good</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> So freezing level at 5000 feet now? Probably because they have no data below! Looking at our beloved Windyty it will be just below 3000 feet. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Enough of that planning stuff, we want real flying, the one that is thrilling, the exploit by itself. Of course we integrate the whole process and we aren't any cowboy of aviation, but when you gotta go, you gotta go! At the last resort, we can always decide not to go, even 15 minutes before departure, or even if we feel like its too dangerous once airborne. Plan for the worst, hope for the best! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Paul went already to the airport in the morning to prepare the airplane in the event of our departure. Francisco and I stayed at the hotel to prepare the relevant paperwork. eApis for the US customs, flight plans, make sure everything is prepared so that we won't run into any trouble. Regarding customs, strange enough, we can send a request for a one flight, departing Japan and landing in Anchorage, although we will stop in Shemya and Cold Bay! So for two days in the USA without clearing customs but still, we will need to abide by the rules and clear them once upon landing in PANC! Nevertheless, we have to clear customs in Japan too, and after having done this we are officially considered as an International airplane. So what if we cancel the flight and have to stay in Japan and reposition the airplane to Kobe? We will need the reverse process, I love bureaucracy...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Amazingly, what we are just about to live through will be the longest non stop DC-3 flight in history. We have extra fuel, extra adrenaline to keep up but will the two Pratt and Whitney sustain the extra hours? We have an oil transfert but will that be sufficient to endure the hard work? Remember, this is risk management, the biggest risk today is icing encounter.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The feeling you have when the only thing you can hear is the roar of those two 1200 horse power engines cannot be described. We were feeling alone there, in our bubble, like a time machine that flies in 2017 but brings memories of what happened 60-70 years ago. Beautiful. I could almost imagine us landing in Shemya and seeing other DC-3s there, unloading their freight or troops for this advanced based. The only mean of communicating was with a Satcom, that brought us back in 2017. The Satcom worked well but the noisy cockpit made communications impossible, and the small antenna couldn't cope with the middle of the cabin. So we were sending sms instead. These were received by Fabien Moret who is a friend and working for Albinati Aeronautics in Geneva. He could follow us up and with our position reports via sms, he could call the respective center to advise them of our position. We also made sure to get a discreet code given by Anchorage ACC (Area Control Center) so as to be identified via our transponder. And believe it or not, once we set that code, about 50 NM before the boundary of the Anchorage FIR, we would see our transponder being interrogated by ATC, and in that region, this can only be an AWACS, flying high above us and monitoring the japanese sea in case of an invasion from hostile regions...brrrr, scary!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here we are, after a day of 40 hours and 17 hours and 30 minutes in the air, we made it back to some civilized place, Cold Bay, where despite our lengthy day, we still had some energy to shoot an approach. Once on taxi speed, we were surprised because no one was on site, it looked like a deserted airport. A call to Flight Service on the frequency and everything was organized within 5 minutes. And then only we realized...it was 11.30pm!!! Imagine the typical US ATC service!! Arriving in a place where only bears and tough people live, in the middle of the Aleutian Islands, close to midnight and having fuel/hotel available in 5 minutes via a call on the frequency, THIS is called, service!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For our night, we were taken to The Bearfoot Inn, a rustic place where they keep food for the whole community, and some beds for the poor travelers like us! A bed was exactly what we needed, but before this, lets have a well deserved beer and...microwaved lasagnas!! What a treat!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Already the 5th June today and if everything goes well, we will be crossing the Pacific the next day, on the 6th. At what time, we still have no clue, this will all depend on that low pressure having the tendency to go south, right over Shemya. We have two choices, either fly during the day and land at night or accept to fly a bit of our crossing at night and land during the day. Well, this is mostly governed by the opening times of Shemya. Bear in mind that 3 days before we still had not received the final positive answer from them. Our request had to go up to the Pentagon and was blocked somewhere we didn't know. So yes, landing time 9.30am according our request. By miracle, we could finally reach Shemya and talk to a responsible person that agreed to keep the airport opened even after the normal hours, we only needed to keep them informed early enough. Not easily done with a 10 hour flight that could be departing at any stage with maybe only 30 minutes prior notice...and when we can call them it is probably too late. Getting some gray hairs!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime early wake up, driving to the airport to fly our Sendai to Mt. Fuji video shooting. Gregory Lemoigne wasn't available when we flew the photo flight so Breitling requested another flight only for some good video shoot. Imagine, 1h20 minutes down from Sendai for a 45 minutes video flight and 1h20 on the way back to Sendai, I let you guess the costs!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But here is the results, stunning also, and magical flight across the rice fields again and right over Fukushima, a place that we start to know almost like home.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">You can se on the previous picture that we are all smiling, why? Because the latest forecast for tomorrow, the 6th, sees a fantastic opportunity for us to cross the big Ocean. We will unfortunately be less optimistic in the evening, as the three of us were looking at the front schematic, it seemed that it was more migrating towards the north, hence giving us low clouds and rain for our arrival time the next day. And it was even getting less appealing for the next four days after. And Francisco has to go back to Switzerland to work...what can we do, go with Paul and be only us two? For such a difficult leg and my level of experience on the DC-3 I can only suggest not to. In the meantime, lets have a dinner after our 6.5 hours of flight of today and these intense emotions. Of course the atmosphere wasn't very enthusiastic as we were pretty sure we would be stuck in Japan for the next week and meaning I wouldn't be able to fly that incredible leg. </span></div>

<span lang="FR"><span style="font-size: large;">Today we were supposed to go and fly the
rehearsal part of the RBAR side act display. Unfortunately the weather didn’t
go as expected and we basically had a call from Race control that everything
was going to be cancelled. Winds were up to 35 kts in the Chiba Bay area and
therefore no way of doing any Red Bull display. They also cancelled the side
act display. One can understand as we are based in Sendai, it’s a good 1h15
minutes of flight to go south towards Tokyo and for only a ten minutes display
that isn’t really worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR"><span style="font-size: large;">So back to the hotel early for Paul and
Francisco, and for me a total different story. I was asked to attend the RBAR
on site in Makuhari for the two days on the weekend. A very nice touch from
Francisco, as he also had to be on board for every display but he asked me if I
wanted to attend instead of him. Breitling Japan offered my that opportunity
and there I was, on my Shinkansen train towards Tokyo. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The other part of the deal is also to make some public appearances and one of the most known aviation air show is the Red Bull Air Race so of course I had to be well dressed for these two days in front of the crowd.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the 3rd and 4th June, the venue of Chiba is where every crazy pilot come to show the public in awe what they are able to do.</span></div>

pylon (on the ground not on sea !) was some of the highlights beside the
race itself. I could also meet some pretty cool people and passionate about

<span style="font-size: large;">Weather forecast for the day looks promising for our midday departure from Sendai. It does however looks quite foggy for the rest of the afternoon and especially in the evening. Our TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) reports some coastal fog to appear at 1800 local time, with overcast at 800 feet and scattered clouds at 300 feet. The only approach available at Matsushima is a PAR (Precision Approach Radar) which is basically a talk down approach. Not so easy to fly a precise degree of correction on a DC-3! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today we had a total of 5 flights, including the two positioning ones. If you want to see what it looks like inside the cockpit of the DC-3 during take-off, then have a look at that video!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We flew a short flight of about 15 minutes towards Matsushima AFB, landing on runway 07, still with a good visibility.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Paul and Francisco did the two middle flights with kids and on the last one, the weather exactly dropped down like planned, leaving them with the only option to do a PAR to runway 07! Not something you often do! Then we flew back to Sendai, all IFR and at night! My very first night IFR flight, with an ILS to runway 27 at Sendai and especially a good crosswind of around 30 its during the approach, only 9 knots on the ground, fortunately enough for me!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To this day, we flew a total of 10 flights with children here in Japan since I came to Kobe on the 19th. Some great memories.</span></div>

<span lang="FR"><span style="font-size: large;">After checking out from Hamatsu Hotel, we made
our 40 minutes drive to Fukushima airport, where we loaded the rest of our stuff.
We also did a briefing with the Bonanza pilot to make sure we all
understand what to do and when. It has been decided to do two low passes over
the airport and then back towards the north for Sendai. Unfortunately today was
a windy day and it was quite bumpy flying low with our great DC-3, our poor
stomach had to deal with it anyway ! The good thing is that we were able
to overfly the airport as planned and do some great photo shots of the rice
fields around Koriyama.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Once we landed in Sendai we refueled our airplane
directly and Paul repaired an oil temperature connector who failed and gave us
an incorrect (or actually no) reading of the left engine oil temperature. An
easy way of not having tons of tools in your pocket is to have this little
tool, called the « Snoopy Tool » for an obvious reason !</span></div>

<span lang="FR"><span style="font-size: large;">While Paul did his job, I looked at the
IFR/VFR procedures to use over the Pacific Ocean in order to comply exactly
with the Custom requirements. It is very easily forgotten how much bureaucracy
is needed for such flights, especially when you cross a border and you’re
flying with an airplane that could maybe not even climb high enough to
establish correct communication between ATC and us! So we will have to
make sure we are awaited and not shot down over the Pacific ! Here are
some flight preparation pictures.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Paul. He has to do some maintenance on the exhausts of our left engine, engine
number 1. Some leaks were found from the collector and although this isn’t
dangerous at first, if you have a fuel leak from the same place and have very
hot gases close to it then it can become a very bad day. So better fix it now
while time permits. You can see Paul doing his work</span></div>

<span lang="FR"><span style="font-size: large;">Today’s weather doesn’t look promising at all,
low clouds and light drizzle is present. We can not even see the mountains and
we are supposed to fly to Aizuwaikamatsu castle which lies in the middle of
them. Anyway, while waiting that the weather to improve from low overcast of
300 feet to some VMC ceiling, we did start our engines and went down the
runway. Just taxiing the airplane was already putting a huge smile on kids
faces and they were amazed to be part of our engine runup. We could accomodate
the small guys and gals up front on the jumpseat while doing so and also while
taxiing down the runway. Amazing stuff ! More pictures came after this and
on the next day’s newspaper we were all over the place !! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I must admit that flying with these kids and seeing them and us with such a huge smile
on our face makes me realize how wonderful this experience is and how grateful I am to be doing the job as a pilot. This tour isn’t at all any kind of job of
course, its a pleasure we share between passionate people, but being here now
is also thanks to my primary job as an airline pilot. </span></div>

<span lang="FR"><span style="font-size: large;">This morning we let ourselves waking up
without alarm clock. Too difficult to get enough rest lately. But we still woke
up early, so after breakfast we head toward the train station and pick up one
of the fastest Shinkansen, the Yamabiko Shinkansen towards Tokyo.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A nice touch
from Breitling Japan is to enable Marie and I to get a nice hotel in Tokyo, the
Sheraton Miyako. Close to the train station and also to a very nice park in the
city center. We walked quite a bit and stopped for lunch, having missed cheese
so much, I cannot help but eat a full Camembert, all by myself !</span></div>

<span lang="FR"><span style="font-size: large;">We headed to the Yoyogi Park, an old Emperess
garden which is a heaven in the city center, especially today, 29°C in Tokyo
with a lot of humidity. I won’t complain, the weather has been so great until
now ! This park also contains an inner park with a Iris river, not quite
blosoming now but nice anyway.</span></span></div>

Fortunately, with our DC-3, an early morning flight is a one that departs at
8am. For now! We might have to adapt to this later on our route !<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A beautiful day on this 22nd May, with an even
more beautiful flight to go. We will be departing Kobe towards the north east
coast of Japan towards Shizuoka and the Mont Fuji , or Fujisan. A photo flight
with our great Katsu is planned over there. We depart together with the Bonanza
on a loose formation flight and make our own navigation, flying low at the
beginning then climbing towards 9500 feet for a smooth and enjoyable
ride!</span></div>

Fuji together, Katsu calls for an altitude of 12'500 feet around Mont Fuji. So we climb

Talking with Tokyo TCA isn’t a problem at all, they monitor our progress and
coordinates quite well with other Centers. We can hear all the westbound
international flights calling on the same frequency, KLM, Lufthansa, Air
France…I am eager to hear SWISS calling and greet them for their return flight

going so close to where such a catastrophic accident happened. We will come
back to Fukushima (RJSF) after refueling in Sendai (RJSS) which is about 35
minutes flight time to the north, along the coast. My pleasure to fly this leg
and do the approach to Sendai, landing on runway 09 from the mountain on the
north side, following an ANA Boeing 737.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

entire flight, take off and landing included! We had to depart IFR from
Sendai, a requirement for today, which was a good exercice to do on a
DC-3 ! Weather was good so it was more a VMC departure followed by radar
vectoring to our cruising altitude of 6000ft today. We cancelled IFR close to
Fukushima in order to descend over the mountains and avoid any IFR procedure
that would increase our flight time. We have to protect our fuel for the next
days as it is not available in Fukushima.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow we will depart Kobe in the early morning towards Fukushima, via Sendai and a little surprise (shhhh, don't tell!). The aircraft needs to be prepared for our trip towards the north and as we carry spare parts like cylinders, starter and a lot of oil, we need to put all that back onto the plane. Not a small affair bearing in mind our weight limitations but also our center of gravity. We need to be sure it all fits correctly inside our DC-3 so that it won't shift nor put the CG out of its range. Thankfully the DC-3 is a workhorse and we are rarely limited unless we carry more fuel onto our Turtle packs, which isn't the case at the moment. At the same time as we load our airplane, Hirata needs to make sure we have our flight plan filed correctly for the 22nd and that the route is selected for ATC to follow us up. If we could have three heads and 8 arms that would be easier!</span></div>

<span lang="FR"><span style="font-size: large;">Breakfast done, our transportation awaited us already for our
7.45am departure to Kobe airport where we will prepare our DC-3 for the day.
Today the program is quite simple, try to do the same as yesterday but even
better ! We have two photo shooting flights to do and in the afternoon
some 42 Breitling guests will be visiting our airplane, each coming into groups
of about 4 people. Bearing in mind the temperature which rises quite a lot at
the moment (27 degrees C), it will be pretty warm inside the plane ! </span></span></div>

before this happens, I have to share with you some of the greatest pictures of
the DC-3 you will ever see. They were taken by my girlfriend Marie from a Beech
Bonanza with its door taken off ! Thanks to Katsu for his amazing proposal,
Marie did probably one of the most memorable flight of its kind. Even
Francisco, who has flown many hours, never saw his DC-3 from the air ! Here she is, awaiting our engine start before she can jump onto the A36!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

through the beef (yes, you got it, again, Kobe beef !!!) Breitling Japan
invited us for a Beef dinner with some special guests, definitely not a place
for vegetarians ! Poor Marie ! The place we went is called Kobe
Plaisir, a little hidden gem inside a building, no terrace but private rooms to accommodate up to 8 guests around a Teppanyaki. Thank you Breitling to make us
discover such places ! </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
