Comment by Rian

"Very smooth long but very easy flight to Glen Innes. We set out at 8am from Bankstown on a clear and sunny day via Scone and Tamworth for a fuel stop arriving 10.30 for a fuel and breakfast stop at Armidale, followed by a 35 minute flight up to Glen Innes where we arrived at 1145. Our passengers arrived at 12 and we were quickly loaded and departed for the direct flight back to Bankstown via Armidale, Tamworth, Scone and Gosford. Flight time was just over 3 hours arriving at 3.30pm.

Return flight was a little more bumpy but no sick passengers which was very good!"
