This one was, it seems, broken down, parked on the heliport of the Coudray hospital center. This is why the emergency services asked the town hall of Luisant to be able to land the Samu de Tours helicopter on the lawn of the Jean-Bouin stadium.

“This site is part of an established list capable of accommodating helicopters, in particular because it is located near the Chartres hospital and because it is possible to light it”, indicated the mayor of Luisant. , Bertrand Massot. “The goalkeeper of the Jean-Bouin stadium was mobilized to turn on the stadium spotlights,” said the elected official.

The helicopter landed at Luisant around 3:50 a.m. where an ambulance was waiting to pick up a kind of incubator suitable for helicopter transport.

The ambulance then went to pick up the baby at the women’s and children’s center of Chartres hospital to bring him back to Luisant, where he was picked up by the Samu helicopter. The aircraft took off around 5:10 a.m. to land at the Orleans regional hospital at 5:40 a.m.
