The mission description from Angel Flight was:
SUBSEQUENT FLIGHT REQUEST (28th & 29th Angel flights).I had previously carried Kayla on Mission 224 in December 2004.After a very traumatic series of treatments at the Mater Children's Hospital, doctors have recommended that a 14 year old girl return to Chinchilla to get some normality back in her life.
However she'll have to travel from Chinchilla to Brisbane three times per week for Haemodialysis at the Brisbane PA hospital.
Carefully perusing my briefing notes for the flight, I realised that Kayla and her grandmother Pamela would most likely be turning up earlier than required for a
scheduled 4:30pm departure. I therefore proceeded from home to Archerfield just after 3pm, did my pre-flight inspection
and walked over to the terminal building. Sure enough, Earth Angel Natasha Musch dropped off her charges at about 3:45pm.
With both Kayla and Pamela being frequent travellers and being familiar with Bonanzas by now, the safety briefing could be abbreviated and we were taxiing at 4pm and promptly launched off duty runway 04L into the benign spring skies at 4:10pm.
Being a Saturday, Amberly air space was not active and we could climb without restrictions or holdups to our cruising altitude of 8,000'.
This is where my soporific personality came to the fore again and the pattern established over the last few flights was repeated; Even before passing Ipswich Kayla had fallen asleep on her grandmother's shoulder. She would remain in this state until shortly before touch down.
We landed at 5:10pm and Kayla and Pamela grabbed their handbag and shopping bag (these girls travel light!), and disembarked for their short drive home.
I immediately fired up again, and was airborne for the homeward journey at 5:20pm, climbing to 7,000' en-route.
The sun was just starting to head for the horizon behind me, bathing the entire landscape in a soft yellow light. One little township near Dalby appeared to have the sun shining from a just about every direction.
The sun would disappear shortly after my landing at Archerfield at 6:20pm.
As the refuellers were no longer in attendance at this hour, I had to do the job myself at the self service bowser, then start up again, taxi to my parking spot and put FWL to bed for the night.
