When Flying Isn’t an Option—for Me or These Planes

It’s been six weeks since my last flight, and as a low-hour recreational pilot, that feels like forever. Work and travel has kept me grounded for now, and honestly, I just haven’t had the mental energy to safely be PiC. But for me, staying connected to aviation is essential—even when flying isn’t an option. So today, I took a diversion to the Queensland Air Museum in Caloundra, where planes that can no longer fly tell incredible stories of history, engineering, and passion. Join me as I explore this hidden gem packed with civilian and military aircraft, quirky designs like the Airtruk, and some unique engineering marvels. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay connected to flying when you’re grounded, this might just inspire your own Plan B. #aviation #pilot #queenslandairmuseum #avgeek #historicaircraft
