The chopper - photographed above at Emerald by local spotter 'AC' - was also noted calling into Biloela / Thangool Airport on its journey Northbound from its Southport base, presumably for fuel.

Finally, it's also worth noting that on Sunday 15 June, Regional Express (REX) SAAB 340B VH-REX also called into Emerald operating the regular 9-day Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) charter from Brisbane on behalf of Pel Air as PFY9286.  It departed back to Brisbane early on Monday 16 June as PFY9283.
