John York Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Well, the idea was to fly from Port Macquerie to Redcliffe and it started out very pleasantly in real world weather; Looks like spaghetti junction up ahead and the clouds seem to be building but I'm fairly high at 8000' so when I get a bit further I might be able to duck underneath them As I got closer to Redcliffe though the weather was closing it in completely so I diverted to Brisbane. At least I could get an ILS landing there Visibility is certainly a bit better here but frankly I don't fancy that landing specially as I'm already on ILS approach I could have landed it myself after all Good ole ILS Can't say I was expecting this sort of weather in Australia! That's the longest flight I've done in Australia, or elsewhere as far as I remember. Didn't quite realise just how far it was. Still, at 249 kts all the way, it still got me there in a couple of hours. Bit boring though some of it I must admit. You know that default Lear is not at all bad. I've got the freeware Premair Learjet 60Rocawlings but even with the upgrade the textures are usless so I think I'll ditch it!
