Light aeroplanes are actually very safe with professional pilots. The 12 year old pilots are very well trained! I speak here as a pilot who has been flying light aircraft for 53 years with never a hint of a problem. Just relax and enjoy it.emhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943925238002268232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893145608158555386.post-83734435189663460622015-09-15T00:56:50.831-05:002015-09-15T00:56:50.831-05:00I think most of the sharks around Australia congre...I think most of the sharks around Australia congregate on the west coast as the water is warmer, but for some reason there is a huge population around Fraser Island.
