Stillwater Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 In this case the King is a KingAir 200, being started in Hervey Bay. Climbing out over Fraser Island, ... ... and southwards to Rainbow Beach, the second ferry point onto the island. Passing Noosa... ... Caloundra, ... ... and Redcliffe... ... on the way to Vegas. Brisvegas I mean... When you are travelling in Australia, always look out for the Roos. They don´t follow established traffic rules and quickly come closer than you like!

Cheers John I was quite confused when I heard jet engines while sitting in a prop plane. I guess Qantas gets priority from the locals . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 A very enjoyable journey and a number of really good pics, especially the first, the fifth and the last one, of course... The good thing with Pro-ATC/X is that it lets any aircraft on approach before you go around... I don't know how it does that, but it's quite comfortable.

I use Pro-ATC/X for IFR flying (you can set its preferences regarding to AI traffic), but I use the default ATC for VFR. And, as we see above, this ATC does not take the speed of the incoming planes into account... 1 hour ago, Rodger Pettichord said: Hey Gerold. As always, a wonderful trip. To....Brisvegas? So where's the sideburns on this Aussie King? Thank you Rodger! The nickname Brisvegas is slightly established, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane#Brisbane_nicknames But I have to disappoint you regarding the Kings: They do have a Queen (she lives near London), and their Royal Flying Doctor Service has some KingAirs. King Karl is either a singer in Hamburg, or a pilot in Langley, BC . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I was expecting a turn to the east and a trans pacific flight. Is it called Brisvegas because of the casinos or the number of Elvis impersonators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not have enough drinks on board to make a direct trans pacific flight with the KingAir from Hervey Bay. 48 minutes ago, VH-KDK said: Is it called Brisvegas because of the casinos or the number of Elvis impersonators? According to the all-knowing wikipedia it is indeed the number of casinos and bars. I am not sure, if Elvis is alive there as well, but I´ll check next year !
