Queensland Government Aircraft Call into Biloela / Thangool Airport Again on Thursday

On Thursday 26 February, both of the Queensland Government Airwing (State of Queensland) aircraft - Raytheon Hawker 850XP bizjet VH-SGY and Raytheon B300 Super King Air VH-SGQ - visited Biloela / Thangool Airport, bringing Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and other Government officials to the devastated areas surrounding Bilo in the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Marcia.
