Comment by Mike

"Lee is a very good passenger and a very positive person. It was my privilage to be able to help her. Good news is she is in remission and this is her last flight to Brisbane for treatement. Lee very much appreciates the help Angel Flight has been able to provide her. Lee works for the Qld Govt health centre in Surat and as a result of her personal experiences her goal is to study nursing and hopefully become an RFDS nurse. Great ambition!

It was a good flight despite a "vigorous low" moving through with strong winds. Made for a quick flight from Surat into Archerfield. For anyone else who may have to land at Surat on runway 26 the first ~400m is very rough despite being bitumen. I suggest to land well into the field provided you have sufficient remaining runway (~600m) to complete the landing. "
