Photos of Re-Registered Cessna Citation VH-MMC (ex VH-SJP) at Emerald Airport - Plus a Few Other Bizjets Around CQ!

On Saturday 23 November I ventured to Emerald Airport to capture an image of the recently re-registered Mackellar Mining Equipment / Flight Options (Australia) Cessna 560 Citation Ultra VH-MMC.



VH-MMC used to be registered as VH-SJP, and is thus no stranger to Central Queensland and Emerald in particular.  VH-MMC had touched down at Emerald on Friday 22 November, and as shown above, it was preparing for departure to the Sunshine Coast late on Saturday morning.

Gulf Coast Aviation Cessna 510 Citation Mustang VH-KXM was also noted at Emerald on Friday 22 November while travelling to North Queensland.  It arrived around lunch time from Toowoomba and Bankstown, and later departed to Normanton.  At the time of writing, VH-KXM had reportedly passed through Rockhampton on Saturday 23 November heading South back to Toowoomba and Bankstown.

And Professional Jet Aviation Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 VH-CDG also popped into Emerald and Mackay Airports on Friday 22 November.  It arrived at Emerald from it's home base at the Gold Coast and soon after, departed to Mackay.  It later departed back to the Gold Coast.

Finally, Hamilton Island Airport (yet again) perhaps played host the most spectacular bizjet movements over recent days with the star arrival being (as mentioned below) China Kingho Gulfstream 550 B-8132 from Wagga Wagga in New South Wales on Wednesday 20 November.  It was expected to depart Hamo for Brisbane on Saturday 23 November.

Also at Hamilton Island, the frequently visiting Balmoral Air-operated Dassault Falcon 2000EX F-GZLX touched down yet again from Bankstown on Friday 22 November.

Another great week of corporate jet movements through Central Queensland - and early information suggests that one of CQ's most frequent bizjet visitors - Citation VH-CCJ - looks to be making its way through CQ on Monday!
