The last OT flight was in June.


I quite enjoyed my one & only OT flight! Flying down to Sydney from Newcastle at stupid o'clock on a Saturday morning after a late night on Friday night, I was surprised to be able to see out the front window of the plane. It was a great view from the plane over the city. Coming in to land, the captain had to pull up suddenly just prior to touching down to avoid a birdstrike.

They used to give ATC folk free rides to Belmont, was not unusual for us to catch a plane for a day at the beach!
 
Seeing out the front is definitely different! We got to do it with Kan Air's C208.

I think I spent most of the flight watching the instruments and view

I didn't know that! If they did then they'd make a bit out of OOL, I wake up to the sounds of them climbing toward the north. Seems they are quite popular here!

Public holidays are great.

Quick AFF catchup at the Lego stand at the Ekka. The Love Boat is great (but the A380 is still me fave!!)
