The mission descriptions from Angel Flight was:
SUBSEQUENT TRIP REQUEST - (4th and 5th Angel flights):This lady, battling breast cancer, continues her course of chemotherapy.
To travel over 8 hours by road to attend her chmo sessions would be well beyond her physical endurance.
Sometimes you really have to wonder why you do what you do. On the tuesday I had gone to the trouble of doing a check-ride to renew by instrument rating so that I could continue to fly in bad weather. But, of course, the day of this flight was absolutely perfect with nary a cloud in the sky.
Earth Angel Ian Osborne dropped Heather off a little early, which in turn meant that we could blast off a bit earlier than planned.
With us sitting above the inversion layer conditions were smooth and we chatted amiably as we waited for the hour and a half to elapse before we somehow afforded a landing at Roma, where Heather's husband was already eagerly awaiting her arrival.
The previously pristeen skies were now filled with a deck of cumulus that continued to build up, so much so, that I had an oppurtunity to put the autopilot's instrument rating to use at last.
I was home before lunch, ready to go to work for the rest of the day.
