The mission descriptions from Angel Flight was:
SUBSEQUENT FLIGHT REQUEST:Kayla is a regular with Angel Flight and has had to suffer my flying skills (or, more precisely, the lack thereof) on numerous previous occasions:sixteen year old girl from Chinchilla who had a failed kidney transplant and is now back on home dialysis. However she still needs to receive medical treatment at the PA Hospital?s Dialysis Unit (Brisbane) three times per week.
Angel Flight will assist the family and fly this young girl and grandmother twice per week while she makes the lengthy trip via road with her mother once per week.
I was half way through the pre-flight when Kayla and Pam walked up. They hopped in once I had finished and, being seasoned travellers, were in their seats and buckled up before I was.
The flight out to Chinchilla at 8,000' was nice and pleasant, with hardly a ripple in the air. So after a little less than one hour's flight I had the only challenge: A robust fifteeen knot crosswind. But, soon after closing my eyes, having pointed the spinner somewhat in the direction of the wind and waiting for the inevitible crunch, I was surpised to feel the aircraft rolling along quite nicely along the strip.
As we taxied off the runway Kayla filled in her logbook, noting down yet another impact with terra firma and, immediately after shut-down, both Kayla and Pam alighted, and waved good-bye.
