You misread my point -- if the cryonics patient is in the airplane, then
the field team and their supplies have already gotten to him.  I was
referring to the time from the airport TO the storage facility, not the
time from whereve field team's base to the patient.

It is not necessarily true that the initial cool-down will be done by a
cryonics team based at the storage facility.  Of course the field team,
wherever they are housed, must be close to an airport if they are serving
patients an airplane-flight away.
