In this event we will fly a small twin, e.g., C414, Baron, DA62.

Take off from Weipa airport to the far north of Queensland Australia as we make our way to Horn Island, the very northern point of Australia. We will perform Touch and Goes at a number of airfields along the route. Special thanks to the organisers of the event at VATPAC for running the event https://forums.vatpac.org/calendar/event/3249-06apr25-weipa-to-horn-island/.

The event will be run on the VATSIM environment. CTAF calls are typically made during the flight but you can also join as an observer and fly the route, while listening in on the calls made by pilots.
