Stillwater Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 During a short round around Cairns my 12-year-old copilot took control again. She was fascinated by the scenery, ... ... but not by the ATC: She was forced to go around. However, going around helped us to discover this hockey field just south of rwy 15: Precisely made, already prepared with the additional circles for small field playing, and the club house just next to the pitch for a cold one after playing (or before, respectively). I wonder if you can ignore the umpires during heavy metal take-offs there ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Nice pics! And I've wondered about those playing fields myself a couple of times... On the other hand - I stayed in the high-rise appartment block half way along the Esplanade a few years back, and I honestly can't remember being too bothered by the planes taking off - or landing. The choppers on the helipad of the hospital which was directly across the road were quite a bit louder. They must be using a heck of a lot of whisper-jets in Cairns Cheers Mallard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexF389 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Super shots! I used to play hockey at a marine base. Wasn't so much a game as a free for all - every hour or so a Sea King or Lynx used to drop out of the sky and land alongside the pitch - great fun nonetheless!
