MISSION 2453 - ESSENDON / MALLACOOTA

SUBSEQUENT TRIP REQUEST: 2nd flight.

Fifty-seven year old Howard from Mallacoota has been receiving chemotherapy treatment for Leukaemia in Melbourne at the RMH. He has had some recovery time at home and needed a bone marrow transplant back in Melbourne.

Angel Flight flew him to Melbourne as he is extremely fatigued due to the treatment which makes car or train travel too uncomfortable.

Comment by Ian

" Unfortunately the pick up at Essendon was not possible due to the low cloud level. On return to MB I arranged for Howard to be transported to MB for the flight to proceed. On arrival at Mallacoota we flew over Howard's house before returning to land at the airport. He really enjoyed the trip and the flight over his house. Howard was a very pleasant and interested passenger. "
