Well after 7 days in Adelaide, two days plane spotting the other 5 attending a conference, it was time to head home to Brisbane to see my amazing understanding family.
Our Qantas flight wasn't until 2.05pm and boarding was to be at 1.45pm. With my director and his wife in tow, our purchasing officer and a few other people that attended the conference, we arrived at the airport around 11.30am and we headed to the Qantas Club for some lunch and some relaxation before the flight. At 1pm I went out to see what movements there were for the last time before my flight.

| QANTAS B737-838 VH-VYB (CN 33763) |
 |
| VIRGIN AUSTRALIA B737-8FE VH-YFG (CN 40999) |
 |
| REX SAAB 340B VH-ZRL (CN 340B-398) |
 |
| QANTAS B737-838 VH-VXM (CN 33483) |
 |
| VIRGIN AUSTRALIA A320-231 VH-FNP (CN 429) |
It was great to see the Virgin Australia A320 as this is a rare sighting, we don't get Virgin A320's on the East Coast of Australia.
We began boarding at 1.40pm (local time) through gate 18 and I took my seat which was 25F. The aircraft for today was VH-VYB (CN 33763) I have been on VYB four times so far. 16/2/15; 19/12/16; 13/9/17 and today. The last cabin door was closed at 1.57pm and we pushed back at 2.01pm. Pushing back it was great to see another rare site and that was Virgin Fokker F28 MK100 next to the A320.

At 2.05 we began taxiing and as runway 23 was in use we had a very short taxi out so we had to hold until the cabin crew finished the safety drill.
We lined up and got airborne 2.11 taking off over the Glenelg Beach were we I stayed for the last week. We banked left and set track for Renmark in South Australia. As we climbed to 370 we maintained that heading for an hour and a half flying over Stanthorpe and Warwick. The flying time for today's flight was 2 hours 4 minutes. We began our descent into Brisbane at 3.53pm and landed on runway 01 in Brisbane at 4.20pm.

Because Queensland doesn't have daylight saving's we had to put the time back 30 minutes, so our official arrival time was 3.50pm
