11, Cessna 310, 50, Was actually making excellent time on this trip and climbed
to 8000 rather than the 5000 I had been flying at previously. Then I decided to
use ATC for the landing and found myself having to execute a go around because
a Baron that landed ahead of me was still on the rwy.
It messed up an otherwise good time.

into 33 at YBRK and nearly struck a Joey on the runway. This is getting dangerous. I would hate to have to charge Blugrass Air for a new nose gear on the ole lightning!
170,
11, Douglas DC3, 76, Lovely flight! Left
Hervey Bay in the early dawn and flew out over the
sea before climbing back inland on course, as the sun was rising. Slightly rocky ride with strong crosswind at
4500 feet. Fairly low visibility landing
at Rockhampton - nearly forgot to release the tailwheel for taxi!!
