Friday afternoon, i´m at the Livingroom and watch Telvision. My Phone was ringing...
Oh no, Atlas HQ.....
What ? You have booked for me a flight to London Stansted on ESY3072 from Munich.
And why ? Ah, Astral Express Charter to Mauritius via Largos to bring down a spare CF6 Engine. There was Merdiana B762 stranded at FIMP on 13. Nov with a Engine failure and wait for a replacement Engine.
N408MC is on the way, she landed on Saturday morning in Stansted.
Hm, ok... I give my wife s kiss, tell her i´m on the way for next the 5 days. I see it on her eyes , she can eat me for that message before the Weekend comes
