Night flying circuits at Toowoomba (Qld - Aus)

Doing my NVFR rating, and this is just a short video of some solo circuits in a PA-28 (Warrior). It's shot using just my phone, so apologies for the quality!

Wind was blowing about 14kts with quite some turbulence coming over the ridge on final, with a slight crosswind. It is quite nice flying over Toowoomba at night.

Seven days without flying, makes one weak.

Beautiful! I love the surreal quality of not being able to see the plane, yet seeing the city lights reflecting off of the cowl.

I must admit, I've never heard of Toowoomba, so I punched it into google earth, and it immediately took me to a location just south of North Toowoomba! :D
