John Giddens Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 After touring around Watts Bridge and Kilcoy YKCY west of YRED , I decided to Have a look at Mt Brisbane . After 3 missed approaches finally nailed it only to overshoot and consequently crash and burn . So decided to give the 152 a go after getting in ok and backtracking for takeoff had a drama getting out ! is a real challenge cheers , Johnno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantok Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Mt Brisbane is great fun. I'd suggest landing uphill rather than downhill, though ... unless the wind dictates otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buggerup Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 OH ,Mt Brisbane I showed up my dad at x-mas, a RL pilot for Sunstate just retired last year at 65. Took the moony in there, failed the first time, but got it the second time. Anyhoo, it tweaked his interest, firstly because he didn't know the field existed and secondly because it looked like a challange worthy. Long story short, My sim, My set up, You could tell he didn't care it just pissed him that I got in and he didn't... ;D. Its only because he used to torcher me as a child :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onya mate , Anyhow today I went in ok uphill with no wind and not much fuel in the 182 and made it in with zilcho to spare and got out quite ok to. Yep definitely land from the eastern side Cheers Johnno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogus Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Great shots! - The pucker factor is high on that approach for sure. What is the airport code for this airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
