Emergency Landing

Some excitement at the end of the Cape York trip today.

As we landed at Cairns Airport we saw emergency vehicles. We thought they were training, until they followed our Beechcraft Kingair 200 to the hangar.

It turns out the plane had a minor throttle issue and a full emergency was called. 2 fire renders, an emergency vehicle and 2 airport trucks.

Cape York Trip

Off to Cape York for an AWC event at Piccaninny Plains on Saturday 23 August. Managed to get an invite due to a last minute cancellation.

First stop Cairns, then a light plane to the sanctuary on Sunday Morning.

Arrived safely in Cairns.
