After two days of clouds hiding the heights of the Reunion by eye, this morning, the moment of the departure, the sky is radiant. Behind the palettes of cargo the passengers are sitting down on their spartiates seats, as comfortable as those on the AIR France; at least the big guys have the possibility to spread their legs like they want. There are, besides the crew on the plane, the personal of relay of the station weather forecast, technicians come to install a converter, the personal of TAAF (Terres Australes et Antarctiques Françaises), and the nine members of the GRAN team, of which a good half of them were already present in 2006.
After 90 minutes of flight, the regime of the motors goes down and we begin to descent. A choc on the lane, motor brakes, the plane stops in the parking. The back door opens on the team of the weather forecast which waits for us in the levers machines of handling.
