Angel Flight 2 comment by Rick Jobson
"SUMMARY
OF FLIGHT- Flight down was smooth and straight forward. We
arrived at BK on time refueled with BP then loaded Sandy and
Tegian, did a preflight briefing and safety briefing.
Climbed
out on ATC headings held at 3000 for a few minutes then cleared
to FL125. Moderate turb to 6000 then smooth. Amended to 10
000 for cruise, descent proved smooth and long descent to
help with Teigan's ears.
Arrived
in circuit at a Duchess angle flight was joining circuit.
Extended circuit over Sandy's house to allow Duchess to clear.
Smooth landing and happy customers!
Headwind
going home kept Gs down to 230kts. Great flight and lovely
day of aviation. Thanks to my co pilot Dave Matthews-Fredricks."

At
just 11 Teigan, with what is believed to be Crohn’s Disease,
has already had 6cm of
her bowel removed. She and her mum, Sandy, usually travel to
the Sydney Children’s Hospital by car having completed
four trips in just five months for treatment and another four
trips prior to that to see a gastroenterologist for the diagnosis.
The young girl also experiences car sickness so this angel flight
is a welcome relief for Teigan and the Forgione family.
