A Nice Pair of Australian Army Sikorsky S-70A-9 Blackhawk Helicopters at Gladstone Airport on Thursday

A nice surprise for local plane spotters Jamie and Tash with a pair of Australian Army Sikorsky S-70A-9 Blackhawk helicopters calling into Gladstone Airport on Thursday 20 February.

Blackhawk A25-212 - "Waler" - was first to call in from parts unknown.  After taking on fuel it was captured departing Gladstone for parts unknown.

Then, later in the day Blackhawk A25-210 - "Dragoon" - arrived into Gladstone and was fuelled and then promptly closed up and parked for the night!

It is presumed that - at the time of writing - that A25-210 will depart Gladstone sometime on Friday.

Thanks to Jamie and Tash for capturing these great images!
