At the time for the accident with the MD80 and the Shorts
i was flying for Air France ( wetlease ) out of CDG. Same routes
every day, Speaking English.
And i must say that the French controllers was extremely arrogant! We spoke English to them and they got back in French. We could say English please about three or four times before they started to speak English back to you. Very unproffessional in my opinion.
One day i was thinkin that something bad is just waiting to happen at this airport. The following morning we heard about this Accident. Very very sad day!
And CDG was just crowded with animals. One day we where taxing out for T/O on 09L when two young little red foxes ( the animal ones, he he! ) came walking just beside the cockpit about
fifteen meters out, they followed us for a minute or so and then went behind a yellow sign. Very unusual sight a must say.
