DESCRIPTION: Experience the thrill of silent flight, soaring like an eagle, and if lucky, you can even spot one. Enjoy a touring glider flight from Caboolture Airfield in Brisbane, flying over the spectacular sights of the Glasshouse Mountains, Australia Zoo, and Bribie Island just to name a few.
Departing from Caboolture Airfield, 40 minutes north of Brisbane, you will cruise out to Mt Beerwah, around Crookneck and Mt Tibrogargan in the fabulous Glasshouse Mountains and onto Australia Zoo.
We will then climb to 4500 feet, shut down the engine and begin gliding towards Bribie Island while taking in views to Caloundra, the Pumicestone Passage and out to Moreton Island. The engine will be restarted around Pacific Harbour for a cruise around the southern tip of Bribie Island while climbing to 3,500 ft in preparation for a glide back to Caboolture Airfield.
On the day, you will be gliding with a senior gliding instructor who will demonstrate to you how to fly these sophisticated gliders. It is then your turn to take the controls and enjoy the rewarding experience of flying like a bird. This is an experience you will never forget!
