My 82yo mother is staying with us for Easter. Took her and my wife to Caboolture yesterday afternoon, cranked up my trusty old Bell 47J, and took off for a lap of Bribie Island.
The forecast scattered showers didn't eventuate, and the cloud base at 3,000 didn't worry us at 1,000 feet. So we headed up the coast, passing Caboolture. Kept a good eye out, as a Japanese student doing circuits there was confusing north with south and east with west. Continued on over water, reporting in to Maroochydore at Moffat Head, then past Point Cartwright for a touch and go. Departed just before a Qantas RPT arrived, back down the coast until clear of the zone, then inland to home.
Over the hills at 2,500 feet. The approach to home is a series of S bends through the trees, one way in and one way out. Put down with two very happy passengers.
A lovely flight on a perfect day!
