Spotting at Caloundra / Caboolture airfields

Yesterday I had to travel to the Sunshine Coast on business, so I called into Caloundra Airport and Caboolture airport on the way home.

Caloundra Airport (CUD / YCDR) is a public general aviation airport located in Caloundra West serving the Sunshine Coast in the Australian state of Queensland. The airport is located on a 320 acres site, of which 180 acres is occupied by the current facilities. The airport is managed by Sunshine Coast Airports, a business unit of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council which is also responsible for the operations of the Sunshine Coast Airport at Maroochydore since 2008. Caloundra airport has two sealed runways, 2,608 ft × 59 ft. Only one runway is equipped with Pilot Controlled Lighting which can be turned on and off by radio as required. There is no control tower and pilots are required to co-ordinate aircraft movements using a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) on 125.85.

After half an hour there was very little to no movements so I moved on towards home, calling into Caboolture airport on the way.

Caboolture Airfield is an aerodrome catering to general aviation and ultralight aircraft located in Caboolture, Queensland, approximately 55 km's north Brisbane. The airfield has two grass runways, both of which operate with a displaced threshold to allow aircraft to sufficiently clear the Bruce Highway and local roads. The primary strip is 11/29, which has an available landing distance measuring 1,210 m (3,970 ft). A short sealed area exists at the runway 11 threshold stretching approximately 250m. A secondary strip aligned 06/24 has an available distance of 821 m (2,694 ft) for landings. Use of runway 24 is generally discouraged due to the proximity of Caboolture Hospital on this heading. Like Caloundra, there is no control tower at the airport and pilots are required to co-ordinate aircraft movements using a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) on 125.85. 
The airfield is maintained and operated by the Caboolture Aero Club Incorporated.
