Port Douglas & Paddy's Air Park report

Late late year, Damian F from the CQ Plane Spotting Blog travelled to Far North Queensland and spent some time at Port Douglas.  From their landing sight near the Sheraton Mirage Resort at Port Douglas, Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Helicopters operates scenic flights over the Port Douglas area.  Damian spotted Robinson R-44 VH-ESK early one morning preparing for a scenic flight. 


Out on the Captain Cook Highway - heading North from Port Douglas - is Paddy's Air Park where GBR Helicopters parks their helicopters that are deployed from their Cairns base to Port Douglas each week.  Parked at the Air Park later that day was VH-ESK, and it was joined by fellow R-44 VH-NOL and Bell 206 VH-IHT.





Paddy's Air Park also has three hangars that contain micro-lite aircraft that can also be seen in the skies over Port Douglas also operating scenic flights.
 
 

Thanks Damian from CQ Plane Spotting for providing this great report.

Atherton Aerodrom Report

During his holiday in Far North Queensland, Damian F of the CQ Plane Spotting Blog also spent some time in the Tablelands, specifically Atherton.  Of course, he popped into Atherton Aerodrome (Jim McAuliffe Field) which is managed by the Tablelands Regional Council.

  

Atherton Aerodrome is predominantly a general aviation orientated airport with a large number of privately owned hangars.  One of the prominent operators at Atherton is Tableland Air Services which operates both local scenic and crop spraying flights around the tablelands.  During his visit, Damian spotted their two current crop-dusters in the form of Cessna 188/A1 VH-KQC and Air Tractor AT-602 VH-ODO.
 
 


 
Another hangar at Atherton Aerodrome with a wide variety of privately-owned light and ultralight aircraft is the Tableland Aero Services hangar.  Also inside the hangar is a familiar helicopter to Damian in the form of AMT OH-58A VH-ABB.  Damian reports he has noted VH-ABB at his 'home airport' in Clermont.

 

It was a pretty quiet day at Atherton, however, Damian was advised that the weekends 'come alive' with the local aviators coming to the Airport for a fly!


Thanks again to Damian from CQ Plane Spotting for this great report.
