More RAAF Visitors at CQ Airports - C-17 Globemasters A41-209 & A41-210 - KC-30 MRTT A39-004 Back Again!

Clearly this week the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) are back in the skies after their Christmas and New Year period 'shutdown' and it has been great to continue to see the big RAAF transport aircraft complete airwork at Central Queensland Airports.

On Tuesday 13 January, RAAF Boeing C-17A Globemaster III A41-209 was spotted completing airwork around Maryborough Airport, It was heard to be using the radio callsign of "Stallion 13".

Then on Wednesday 14 January, fellow RAAF C-17A A41-210 was noted completing a missed approach at both Rockhampton and Maryborough Airports.  It was heard to be using the radio callsign of "Stallion 16".

Then to top a beaut couple of days off, later on Wednesday 14 January, RAAF Airbus A330-203 / KC-30A (MRTT) A39-004 performed a missed approach at Rockhampton - the second time it has done so this week!  On this occasion, it was heard to be using the radio callsign of "Dragon 10".
