Take part in the Maroochy River Dreamtime Tactical Flight, an operation that blends the area's stunning natural beauty with rich layers of history. Your mission commences with a waterborne "lift-off" from Maroochy River, known in local Aboriginal Dreamtime stories as a place of spiritual gathering, and historically, as a WWII training area.
Upon takeoff, experience the sensation of ascending into a "theatre of operations" that offers panoramic views of the scenic coastline. Flying over the Maroochy River, you'll find yourself tracing the contours of a waterway revered in Dreamtime stories as the work of the ancestor spirit Ninderry.
From there, set your sights on Mooloolaba Beach as you execute a "low-altitude flyby," offering a unique vantage point of a once fortified but now tranquil area. Revel in the sight of the white sand and crystalline waters, a far cry from its days of barbed wire and coastal blackouts.
Proceed to your next waypoint: Point Cartwright. As you manoeuvre in a "reconnaissance orbit" around this significant landmark, absorb its multifaceted history—from its tactical importance as a military defence point to its Dreamtime role as a guardian of the land.
As your sortie draws to a close, prepare for a water landing on the Maroochy River, once a military training ground and an eternal Dreamtime landmark. Your descent onto the placid river surface serves as your "exfiltration," leaving you with an enduring sense of the area's captivating blend of ancestral and military history.
This operation encompasses 10 minutes of tactical air time, with a total mission duration of 30-35 minutes. Suitable for squadrons of two to three passengers, the maximum payload is capped at 200 kilograms. This is more than just a sightseeing flight; it's a richly textured journey that immerses you in the natural beauty and diverse historical tapestry of the Sunshine Coast.
