The mission description from Angel Flight was:
SUBSEQUENT TRIP REQUEST:A baby requires a trip to specialists in Brisbane for the removal of toe to thigh bilateral plasters and the fitting of a boot apparatus as part of her ongoing care.
The family had been spending three days to make these appointments as the baby cannot travel the distance in one stretch due to the risk of swelling.
Any assistance from Angel Flight pilots and Earth Angels would be appreciated.
As it was threatening to rain heavily, I taxied the aeroplane right up to the terminal building, so that my passengers would no have to trudge through too much snow and rain.
As it turned out it was wet, but not raining. Afer a quick briefing I had Georgia strapped in in the back, her mother Gabrielle seated next to her, and her dad next to me in the front.
We requested and received an instrument departure and soon after turning south at 900' we disappeared in the white stuff. About 15 minutes later we emerged on top and conditions gradually improved - until we hit the border to New South Wales - then the clouds just about melted away.
My adult passengers were cheerful and we had light banter going all the way while Georgia slept most of the way.
So I had little difficulty in locating the Moree aerodrome.
On the way back north the conditions were as before: Once I crossed into Queensland the windshield was obscured by clouds and I had to conduct yet another NDB approach into Archerfield.
